February 18, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

A presentation for TRU’s Teaching Practices Colloquium 2015 Visual media is a key component of teaching, presenting, making your ideas understood. When you search online for an image of specific thing, literal keyword searches usually work well. For example if […]
