Audio and Video

Beginning in 2006, activities of the River Summer were recorded via podcast and edited to create a collection of lectures and lessons from the field which serve as models for course integration of other enrichment support. Additional podcasts will be added to the site as the editing is completed. Please help us improve this resource by completing a brief form about your experience with the podcast(s).
