Introducing "Living in Beta Mode"

Welcome to the very first podcast episode of “Living in Beta Mode.” This podcast content is developed by the Digital Learning Unit team, and recorded in the DESE podcast studios of Donnie Lee. Podcast hosts are Cristian Haynes, and the DESE State Coordinator of Digital Learning, Kirsten Wilson. Today we are going to be chatting with Kirsten about what exactly is “Living in Beta Mode.”

This podcast is an opportunity for us to share information and ideas about digital learning. We know that as learners we have preferred ways of assimilating information and learning. Some like to read a book, others like to listen to audiobooks. Others like to read the transcript of a video while others like to listen. We have discovered that the more ways we offer information, the more ways we get the learning out there. This podcast is one more way for the Digital Learning Unit to share information, learn and support educators. It is also a way for us to share our own stories of learning, our mistakes, and our celebrations. It is also another way for us to have connection.
