Indigenous Exploration Residential School Podcast:

Intro:

In this podcast, me and two of my friends, Sion and Devin talk about Gordon’s Indian Residential School and some of the people involved with the school that had done a lot of bad things to the students/children that forcefully had to attend the school.

– Your experiences creating this assignment.

In my opinion, at first, the project seemed like a lot of work and that we were going to need more than a week to finish it, but as soon as we started working as a group the project went by super fast, especially the researching.

– Your group’s path in researching the topic.

Our path in researching our topic (Gordon’s Indian Residential School) was to find credible sources like .gov, .org, and also some university sites for our podcast. We tried our best to do so and only used Wikipedia as a base plate for our information, also making sure that the facts we did get from wiki were all legit by checking its credibility on trustable websites.

– Obstacles or items you learned in the recording.

Some obstacles we faced were definitely the amount of script we had by the time of recording, the time we had left to finish the project, and some recording issues. When it came time to start recording, once we had finished almost half our script, there would only be 2 minutes on the clock. We faced that obstacle by adding more to our script while recording to extend our podcast time. While going through that challenge of not having enough time after our script, there were some doubts about finishing on time because the assignment is due at the end of the day. In the end, by working hard and having to record in the hallways we pulled it off and got to finish the podcast on time.

– Reflection on one of the below core competency questions.

Communication – What are some ways that you use to communicate your learning?

Some ways I use to communicate my learning with others are either making a shared word document or group chat with the people where we can all share and show our learning and knowledge on a topic or by verbally communicating and telling my understanding. For example, for this project, a way I showed my communication skills is when I made a group chat and a shared word document for our group to put our research and script on.
