Conduct Research
You may know a lot about some of the topics you will teach. For others, you may need to learn some things. You'll need to do some research.
What are the best resources for your research? There is a lot of information online, but how do you know it's reliable? One of the best ways to conduct research is to use trusted resources. Trusted resources are ones that you, other Digital Ambassadors, your teacher/coordinator, or other teachers and technology specialists go to for advice.
