<p>Did your agency pivot to virtual programs during the height of the pandemic? Are you still using those programs today? On this episode, Nate Bibat, Senior Naturalist at the <a href="https://duneslearningcenter.org/" target="_blank">Dunes Nature Center,</a> comes on the Let's Talk Parks show to share how his organization was able to quickly pivot to online environmental education programs. He shares the various tools and methods they used for the hundreds of students in their programs - including making videos on YouTube, launching a podcast, creating virtual tours on Google Earth, and so much more! He also talks about how him and his team made those online programs more accessible for those with hearing or visual impairments. Tune in to learn how these programs continue to evolve into hybrid learning experiences, where online pre-visits serve as a helpful way to introduce students and teachers to the content before they travel on-site.</p>
