Emerging technology is reshaping education. Audio and voice technologies allow students to access and engage with a “computer” in a conversational, human-like way. Immersive reality allows students to learn via sights and sounds. Seeing, hearing, and experiencing educational material brings it to life in a new way, allowing for either an individual or communal learning experience. Both technologies catering to more learning styles, ultimately inspiring curiosity and the joy of learning.

In this edWebinar, viewers will:

  • learn how integrating audio, voice and/or immersive technology in the classroom can enhance learning and engagement.
  • gain practical tips and ideas on how free media and tools, such as Britannica’s Guardians of History, can easily and effectively be added to your teaching toolkit.
  • understand the limitations of technology and be able to set boundaries with students on accessing devices and expectations for use.

This recorded edWebinar will be of particular benefit to K-12 teachers, librarians, and administrators.
