- Do a class audioconference summary. Making a class summary of an audioconference is a great way of reviewing the information your students heard. It's easy to do, purely as some text, or as main facts on a picture background. Feel free to use the audioconference summary sheet - Word (30k). We'd love to share your ideas so please send your class summary to andrew.penny@core-ed.org.
- Remember you can listen to the audioconferences again from the audio recordings if you want to gather more information.
