Cheryl Geisler – SIAT

Cheryl’s media project was created in Prezi and is being used as an online resource in her class but at this time has not been made public, or openly available. She used Audacity for audio editing, and the Lynda.com tutorials that are freely available to SFU educators from the Library.Β  Images from Open Clipart were included, and music from Sweet wave audio (need a link) tied it all together.
