=**Welcome to Cecily Nobles Presentation on Mentimeter!**= ==

Hi everyone, my name is Cecily Nobles and I have my BA in Business & Organizational Communication and my MA in Educational Assessment, Evaluation, & Data Literacy. I'm currently a undergraduate advisor for the department of American Culture at the University of Michigan.

For my presentation I have chosen to present on the platform mentimeter. I chose this specific topic because I'm really passionate about assessment and being able to use data in order to inform decision making. Mentimeter is a very user friendly tool that helps make presentations, workshops, meetings, and classes more interactive by allowing students to participate during the discussion. The platform allows your students or participants to engage using 1:1 devices. This platform can be used as a formative assessment tool. media type="file" key="zoom_0.mp4" width="300" height="300"
