Every year I get requests from former students for a copy of their presentation (particularly the very good productions) for in- service sessions they are working on in their present teaching positions. I cant always find them, or make copies, so I suggest you make sure everyone in your group who wants a copy has a copy. Note 2. In the past, the target audience was limited to student teachersyour peers. In the interests of practicality and future utility the student teacher may be the secondary target, and you may opt for primary target audiences such as: practicing teachers, parents, children, adolescents, professionals, media, and so on.
