If you missed Zoology class today, we watched a video over the origin of the Tetrapods, which is approximately 17 minutes. Please watch that video. The video is found below:
We then went over the assignment for the Prezi multimedia project and how it would be scored. I did NOT hand out a hard copy of the guidelines in class, but you can find the link for it on the "Zoology 1/19-1/23" post. Go to http://www.prezi.com and sign up for an account. You can also get an app for it.
***UPDATE: IF YOU WANT TO USE A DIFFERENT SOFTWARE FORMAT FOR THE PRESENTATION, DISCUSS WITH ME. THAT IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE.***
This will be due on Monday of next week!
