Health and Rehabilitation Sciences 4300 – Health Promotion Through Technology

Many thanks to the students of HRS 4300 for having me in class today.  I used Prezi for my presentation, which is a great tool for presentations when you want something a little a lot different from PowerPoint.  If you’re a student, definitely sign up with your .edu email address here–  you’ll get more features for free.

If you want to learn Prezi, head to the Digital Union so you can log on to Lynda.com to watch this tutorial.  Or, check out my presentation below:
