Lessons Learned

This week you should have watched two inspirational videos and started to think about what "words of wisdom" you would like to include in your Lessons Learned project. Please post a comment with an inspirational quote that can share with the rest of us. Here is one of mine. "The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but it is too low and we reach it." by Michelangelo

Google Docs

I found google docs useful because on my home computer i do not have microsoft word but google docs works and allows me to write essays.

Prezi was very easy to use for my copyright project.
