Video of Final CURR 530 Presentation

In addition to the components on the previous blog (scroll down to view), I put together a mashup video of my presentation. Please note, if some of the pages from the unit redesign are difficult to read, see full UbD unit in previous blog below.

Soundtrack is "Sounds of Summer Running" by Mark Johnson

*As stated in previous blog, this was a presentation for CURR 530 final at Montclair State University. I am not affiliated with the Benards Township school in any way and have no real intentions of proposing a redesign to the curriculum referenced (from: www.bernardsboe.com)
