Biography

• My name is Carrie Jacques. I chose this topic
  because I love animals and so do kids. The
  powerpoint presentation is a great way to help
  students learn information that they may have not
  known. I am a special education major and I am so
  excited to incorporate the wonderful technology
  that I am currently learning into my future
  classroom.
