As educators, we are always looking for amazing ways to engage and support all learners, especially now as we teach students in all kinds of blended learning situations. Now, in these uncertain times, we need tools to help learners be as independent as possible, ensuring continuity of learning despite the impact of the pandemic on instructional models.

In this edWebinar, Shannon McClintock Miller shares tools and ideas for accommodating the needs of all learners in unique and creative ways. She will explore ways to use apps in concert to support learners who are in remote or hybrid learning models. Practical tips and commonly accessible platforms like Google will be incorporated.

You will leave this recorded presentation with lots of ideas, new tools for all learners, and a collection of resources to use as you take this knowledge back to your school and give your students a voice in their learning, too.

This recorded edWebinar will be of interest to teachers, including special education, ELA, ENL/bilingual, and literacy teachers, as well as librarians, school and district leaders, and curriculum and instruction specialists of the elementary through higher education levels.
