Slide Show Title: Comprehensive Final   VIDEO AUDIO TITLE: Philosophy of Education Visual: Picture   Philosophy Narrator: Throughout my semesters at NAU and writing my teaching philosophy, I realized including technology was nowhere in my teaching philosophy.

Talk about how sometimes the things we see online can be...
