Points of interest:
Remember that you can take your own images too! In these materials, Mary Mitchell has complemented the images she’s drawn from Scran with a selection she has taken herself with a digital camera.
Note also that Scran can be used directly by students as well by lecturers. In addition to using Scran to improve her own teaching materials, Mary encourages students to use Scran as a source of information and as a means of livening up their reports.
