2EB (12.30pm to 1.30pm) - T brought students to the ITR room that had fewer laptops so that students who faced technical problems could edit their pages accordingly.

T's Reflections: Used Prof's suggestion on scaffolding and realised students were more efficient when a template was given to them. Wondering: Would like to upload audio files but trying to figure out how I can encrypt the audio file on pbworks page so that those without players can still listen to audio file.
