Literacy in the Digital Age -A Podcast 

 

For our final assignment, my colleague Raveneet Sandhu and I focused on a development in technology called Raz-Kids. Through research of our own, as well as, interviews with teachers and students in the field, Sarah and I created a podcast to evaluate the implications of Raz-Kids on literacy and education.
