Podcast : Writing Out Loud Created using Anchor by Spotify
This exciting episode includes Jade Lee speaking about the history of writing and how it applies to teaching pedagogy and effective practices. This is a sequel to exploring the question of how educational technology may play in the future of writing? After speculating the future in utopian and dystopian scenarios for the year 2052, Jade goes on to interviewing her daughters about the process of writing in current times and the speculative future. Enjoy!
