*After break, we will be working on contacting out teachers and making modifications.  

This will be the last SWYK assignment before break: Follow these steps today or Friday:
  1. If you are the SWYK Slides owner, make a copy of your Slides project and transfer ownership of the copy to (one of) your partner(s)
  2. When/if you get the copy of your Slides project, rename it "Virtual" and then your current title (For example: "Virtual Presentation to Ms. Anita Vacation's Class at AJHS").  You can eliminate “Copy of”
  3. Change the name on the title Slide as well
  4. Share with your team
  5. Attach it to the assignment on Google Classroom
