 This week's tip is short and sweet: take advantage of the resources on the CTLA website!
The Center for Teaching, Learning & Assessment at CGCC is constantly striving to include new and relevant resources to support our faculty. If you haven’t visited lately, you should – the home page is laid out so as to make it easy for you, the instructor, to find the help that you need at a glance!

 This week we looked at recommended practices when creating presentation slides, AND gave three awesome resource sites for you to find ready-made slide templates! There are basic slide decks, slide decks for games, hyperdoc slide decks - you name it, you'll be able to find it!
