31. Sixth Key to Success Develop a meaningful Curriculum for teachers 6th Key

34. How do we handle Professors with some experience? Answer: We start at a higher level of skill. For instance if they are somewhat experienced with powerpoint, them we show them 3D in Powerpoint, special effects, Cartooning, sound, movie clips and making animation. How does this apply to TLC Ambassadors? The Ambassador curriculum is customized to what the Professor wants to do. Most of the Professors work on Adobe Photoshop advanced skills and Dreamweaver for web publishing. Some do Authorware also.

35. Relate the curriculum to presentations & web based materials.
