Inspire, engage and challenge student thinking
  • Find a great CX media resource that intrigues and promotes questions and discussion.

  • Video and audio are wonderful resources for WebQuests and inquiry based research.
  • Connect, and expose students to different forms of movie making so they can learn how to create effective film pieces.
  • Create short instructional videos on concepts to support learning. These videos would be used by students to more deeply understand the concept.

In your workplace

Video and audio are powerful professional learning resources. Here are some ideas for your next PD project.
