Technology today can quickly overtake a classroom with its complexity and the endless options available to the instructor
![Page 7: “Integrating Netcasting into the Classroom Experience“ A Hands-on Examination of Podcasts for the Classroom Rick Shelton M.Ed. Assistant Coordinator for.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56649ec05503460f94bcb610/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do we make sense of it all?

How do we make sense of it all?
