Recently, Bulahdelah Central School (BCS) Students in Years 10-12 have had the opportunity to participate in a Pop-Up Podcast workshop.

They worked in small groups and learnt how to write and record a podcast using Audacity and royalty free music.

“This course teaches students how to write, edit, produce and host their very own podcast,” said BCS Careers Advisor Linda Drenkahn.

“It uses professional recording equipment and software resulting in a quality end product and the tools and skills needed to continue podcasting.”

Learning outcomes are mapped to the English syllabus assisting with assignments, confidence and public speaking.

“Thanks to Regional Industry Education Partnerships for providing this opportunity and to Stephanie from Media for Millennials for sharing her expertise,” said Linda.
