Common Core Speaking and Listening: Meeting the Requirements for Digital Media

The Common Core State Standards require the use of digital communication tools as part of their speaking and listening standard, and as educators, we need to need to carefully consider those tools. Our students live in a world of webinars, podcasts, video conferences, Skype, Facetime, video, and online digital slideshows. How can we prepare them for that? What tools and sites exist, and how can we use them effectively to meet these standards? In this webinar, participants will be introduced to several digital tools and websites that engage students, teach speaking, and showcase spoken communication. Join Erik Palmer as he shares lesson ideas and activities that prepare students for the demands of oral communication in the digital age.
