Podcast Reflection 

My experiences doing this assignment were good. I got to learn about the experiences of indigenous people in residential schools, while also working on an assignment. It was good for us to learn about this topic and explore the past of indigenous peoples. Me and my partner worked really well together, and we always got stuff done. Our experiences working with audacity were all right, it was easy to use and navigate. The microphones were also easy to use, we just plugged it in, and it worked fine. 

Our group’s path in researching our topic was ok. It took a while for us to find articles about our first subject, and we could not find any videos which made us switch our subject. But after that, we found many articles and videos for our second topic, so it was easy to figure out which articles and videos to use. 

Some obstacles we had while recording was the volume of our neighboring recorders. It ended up being all right but at the start, it was hard to record us talking without background noise. Secondly, we had some issues with speaking, which is normal; we messed up saying a few names and words in the script. 

Some ways we can communicate our learning could be to spread word about the troubles these people had to face. We could positively share it online, or simply go around telling people through speeches, or sharing your podcast and showing it to different people. We can also communicate to others by showing these types of things to more popular people, so it’s easier to spread the word.
