My Project
This project creates a platform for students to explore the world of podcasting while addressing real-world issues and experiences relevant to our community in the post-COVID era. Through this experience, students will connect with community leaders, analyze trends, and engage in meaningful inquiry by asking thought-provoking questions.
Empowering students to use their voices, this project allows them to take ownership of their learning and future direction.
They will have the freedom to choose podcast topics, conduct and record interviews, and shape the format and style of their productions. By fostering student voice and choice, this initiative encourages creativity, engagement, and personalized learning.
As students immerse themselves in podcasting, they will strengthen relationships with their peers and community while developing essential social skills. Through discussions on issues affecting their school and beyond, they will gain deeper insights into their surroundings and contribute to meaningful conversations about the future.
