Professional Development Workshop for Language Art teachers

For this assignment, you will create a professional development workshop for educators using PowerPoint, Prezi, Keynote, or some other presentation software package. The workshop may cover any topic that is appropriate for a language arts teacher in an elementary classroom and should contain 10-15 slides.  You will record the presentation and submit it in this discussion forum so it can be reviewed by your classmates as well as the instructor.  You may record the presentation using the recorder that is built into the software or VoiceThread.  (Your instructor will provide a demonstration of VoiceThread in a Zoom session.)
