 * Reflections:** || I thought the whole process went well - better than years past - with the new variations introduced this year. The students enjoyed being able to personalize, but not create the whole thing. ||
 * **Examples**: ||< * Sorry - no examples, as presentations were live. I should have videoed some. ||
