Apprenticeship Concept

We understand the idea of starting with an easy one, we just never realized it applied to languages too.

Hi Penelope, I saw your question in the chat re macs. Blackboard Collaborate works on MS Powerpoint or jpgs. I have had people prepare their presentation in keynote and they were able to convert that to MS Ppt. If you cannot see how to do that (I am not a mac person), convert your keynote slides to jpg images and you can load jpgs into Blackboard Collaborate. Does that make sense?
