Teaching Podcasts

Wednesday, Feb. 15

3 – 4 p.m. on WebEx

This spring, we’re introducing a new all-virtual workshop series where we tackle specific classroom topics together. The first workshop will be on teaching podcasts: how to best utilize in-class work time to draft scripts and edit recordings, which examples are most effective and successful, what editing software to use, etc. We’ll go over all of these things and more in our short collaborative workshop.
