Some new things that I learned this week

Decided to check in with the rest of the crew about how to handle the 1st week intro to IST 220

• Great feedback from the team
• Decided to make a prezi with some audio. Since prezi doesn’t naturally doesn’t add audio. Here are some suggestions on how to handle this:
