VSTE After School Special: Can You Hear Me Now? Integrating Audio in the Classroom

Join Chris & Melissa Bugaj for an introduction to the podosphere to discover a wide array of free podcasts that can be used to differentiate instruction for learners of all ages. From listening stations for students to providing multi-modal professional development for staff, podcasts allow people to capitalize on the shortage of our most precious commodity; time. Partake in the discussion, share your favorite podcasts, learn how to search and subscribe to podcasts, and discover new ways to implement audio into your learning environments.  

 

We'll meet at 4 PM on Wednesday, April 10, in VSTE's Adobe Connect room provided by Meeting One. 

 

This webinar is the last of three that focused on technology and differentiation. Archives can be found at the VSTELive website.
