Chromosomal Disorder Project
Create a presentation that you will present to the class about one of the following chromosomal disorders.
A presentation style used below will receive extra credit (10%). I am sick of PowerPoint.
Powtoon: http://www.powtoon.com/
Animoto: http://animoto.com/
Popplet: http://popplet.com/
Wideo: http://wideo.co/
StoryBird: https://storybird.com/
These will not work as smoothly as PowerPoint.
If you are stressed out or have a lot of other things going on you should probably choose PowerPoint.
