My goal is to provide you with resources so you can enhance the auditory learning that takes place in your class. Please reach out and let me know of a unit you are working on. You may be surprised by the audio resources that I might come up with that might add another element to the learning that takes place in your classroom. Think of it as “post production” in the making of movies. After the film has been edited, special effects are brought in to bring another layer to what we are about to experience.
