A tiny little podcast with big stories on education
The 21st Century Classroom podcast aims to showcase young Vermonters talking about the experiences they’re having both in and out of school. Students we talk with do amazing things, and we hope they inspire other educators.
The heart of the stories: student interviews.
We want people to hear Vermont students in their own words, using their own voices. We also frequently include teacher interviews, and as often as possible incorporate recordings of events or classroom work. Every episode includes transcript that takes the form of a blogpost. The transcript includes images or short video snippets. We try to think of the podcast stories as simply stories with a primarily audio component. But everyone consumes media differently. If you don’t want to listen, we want you to read.
