Covid-19 Podcast Discussions

Covid-19 Podcast Discussions

     While the past four months have drastically cut down on my meeting and conference plans (still mourning the loss of ConnectED and Riding the Wave face-to-face events) it did signicantly increase my ability to converse with some amazing educators from across Manitoba and Saskatchewan.  I consider myself pretty lucky to have some wonderfully creative educators in my social circle who are using podcasts to share, connect, and educate. 

     As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and resulting suspension of classes, there has been a lot of conversations to be had when it comes to the impact this event is having on education as we know it.  The following episodes provided an opportunity to discuss:
– how various MB school divisions responded to the suspension of classes
– our experiences reporting from home
– what tech inequalities are present and the impact they have on educational programming

     I have linked to these conversations below and encourage you to listen and share your thoughts in the comment box below.  Each of these podcasts are from MB content creators and it is well worth your time to check out the other episodes available in their queue.
