Unlock the Doors of Literacy with Audio-Visual Content

Presented by Sandhya Lakhanpal

The pandemic affected our classrooms in many ways. Educators were thrown into a loop with the need to pivot into virtual learning in a matter of days. With the shift to virtual learning, educators were forced to present content using technology.

While creating audio and video assets may have been an extra effort in the regular classroom, virtual learning made the use of these formats’ commonplace. On one hand students with dyslexia struggled to access text-heavy content, on the other audio & video content unlocked a whole new world of literacy. We saw an uptick in the performance of students with dyslexia. With audio-visual content, we were suddenly playing to their strengths in an otherwise imbalanced classroom environment.

The question remains, how can we continue to make learning accessible with the use of these tools. Can we leverage the power of audio-visual format to make learning accessible to students with dyslexia and cater to the learning-preferences of others?

We seek to serve Generation Alpha. Born in the 21st Century, Generation Alpha is tech-centric by nature. Let’s play to their strengths and make literacy accessible to all.

What if technology became a partner in making learning accessible? Whether you teach elementary, middle or high school, come to this session and come away with ready to implement strategies in the classroom. Join this interactive session to learn more about using technology to make literacy accessible.
