Episode 68: Case Study Episode: How Two Educators Navigated the Process of Moving Their Courses Online with Nicole Foster and Michelle Clarke

Description:

In episode 68 of the Lecture Breakers podcast, I'm excited to share another "case study" episode with you. These episodes are designed to give guests a space to reflect, analyze, and share what they learned, how they implemented a new idea, what happened, and what advice they have for others.

In this episode, Nicole Foster and Michelle Clarke (sisters!) talk about what they learned from the 1st Lecture Breakers Virtual Summer Conference.

They were so enthusiastic throughout the whole conference, and I saw them everywhere…on the chat, in the community, and on social media. They were so engaged during the conference that I just had to invite them to the show to share what they learned and how they implemented the new ideas into their courses.

This is an honest conversation about their biggest takeaways, the realities of trying new things in the classroom, what worked, what didn’t, and what they want to change as they head into this next semester.
