Simple activities with images and audio tools can make learning more effective and more engaging. You will explore how using Creative Commons-licensed images can better involve your quiet ones, as well as prepare all students for higher levels of work. Through the use of CC licenses, millions of people around the world have made their photos, videos, writing, music and other creative content available for any member of the public to use. Planning for all sorts of academic efforts can be better through the use of audio tools, and you will also take time to use online recording tools for that purpose. The tools we explore will all be web-based and either free or with strong free versions.
