At the end of the semester you and two or three partners will be doing an In-class Presentation (between 5-10 minutes in length).  Class Presentations will start April 24th or 29 th.  You will need to choice your own partner(s).  I will leave a few minutes at the end of class for students to met others and discuss ideas.  For this assignment you will research three possible topics that you are interested in doing your presentation on.  Your presentation will need to be on some type of new technology or software, and you will need to explain the new technology/software, how it works, and how it is used.

 

For Lab 5, we will be using Google Docs.  You will need to create an account.  Mine is dgomez.stan@gmail.com
