Teachers are challenged to meet a new standard in the Common Core - listening. There are few classroom tools that address listening. In this short talk I will give teachers an understanding of the neuroscience behind auditory learning. Participants will also learn about tools they can use to help students build critical listening skills. They will learn how to use their smart phones and computers to record sound in the classroom. Some of the products featured include Listen Edition, Tape me, and Voicethread.
