Saturday, March 7, 2020
12:10 pm to 1:25 pm

 

Each year brings an intense demand for more dynamic, more interactive creative writing courses, and this is because there is a necessary trend among educators to embrace the multimodal nature of media as fundamental to our student’s learning lives. In the past decade, podcasts have become a driving force in our cultural landscape, and this panel will discuss the value of challenging students to produce podcasts as well as address the functionality of using podcasts as teaching tools.
