Multimodal Learning, Accessibility, and Tag-Team Coaching with Kristin Carter and Royce Ennett

How can classroom technology serve as the ultimate equalizer for student voice, literacy, and conceptual understanding? In this episode of _GaETC: The Podcast_, host Dr. Lee Green and Clint Winter catch up with a dynamic instructional coaching duo from Live Oak Elementary in Newton County Schools: Kristin Carter (Literacy & Social Studies) and Royce Ennett (Math & Science). Kristin and Royce share their classroom-tested strategies for breaking through pencil fatigue and cognitive overload using multimodal platforms like Book Creator. From supporting twice-exceptional and dyslexic learners with speech-to-text to letting young mathematicians record audio explanations of geometry patterns, they illustrate how technology removes barriers so every student can shine. They also unpack their collaborative coaching philosophy, explaining how active listening, co-planning, and clarifying what lies ahead helps teachers breathe easier and thrive in high-stakes environments. Plus, Kristin and Royce take on our signature game, "How Well Does Gemini Know You?", knocking out questions on math-literacy intersections, hands-on inquiry, and their favorite lunch spots on the historic Covington Square!
