How school podcasts are empowering student voice

How school podcasts are empowering student voice | Educational Leadership | Scoop.it

A Melbourne school has launched a podcast to enhance its student voice and develop an array of communication and technical skills in a real-world setting. 

The new podcast, called Beyond the Gates, also gives students access to external experts for inspiration and guidance as part of the project.

Podcasts have become increasingly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. This year’s Infinite Dial Australia study by Edison Research and Commercial Radio Australia found that 5.6 million Australians (26%) listen to podcasts on a weekly basis – up from 53% in 2020.

“Providing a vehicle for Korowa students to develop and apply vital collaborative, technical and communication related skills to influence others in a real-world application while gaining industry expertise is a priority,” Korowa Anglican Girls School deputy principal, Liana Gooch, told The Educator.
