Episode 6 with Christine Pinto
Google Teacher Tribe Mailbag Jenn Conti (Cuyahoga Falls, OH) -- Podcast smashing. Use closed captioning in Google Slides. Smashed with Jake Miller’s EDU Duct Tape podcast philosophy of using tech to solve a problem in the classroom. A friend at another school to close caption morning broadcast for hearing impaired students. Tested at her school. Students open Google Slide, turn on closed captioning and picked up the voice of students on broadcast, showed it on the screen. The perfect fix for the problem! Thanks for all you do through GTT! Congrats on 1 million downloads!
