Here is our podcast on some facts and our thoughts on the Kamloops Residential school. below is a 6.5 minute audio video that I hope you will enjoy. Thank you for listening.

For me, this was my first time ever doing a podcast. I felt that it was hard to have a structured conversation whilst making the podcast sound natural. When i was talking, my lines seemed more like a speech than a conversation. Our group’s path when researching was to each pick two topics to do research on. We would then lead the conversation during our two parts we researched. some obstacles we had was learning how to use Audacity. it was a new program that none of us were familiar with. I also found it challenging to find a music that matched the mood of our podcast. It seemed like all the songs were too fast, or too upbeat. The Kamloops Residential school ties in with my learning because i heard about the 215 unmarked graves and how that started a big movement. before further researching, I was not really informed much about the topic. Now I know how painful it can be for some people. I also understand that residential schools were really dark, and how children were both physically and mentally abused. My thinking has changed for the better because now I am more informed about what really happened. Something that made it change is all of the research that i did on this project. I really was interested in what happened and enjoyed doing this project as well as learning more about the schools. Even though this project was really challenging for me, think overall my group and I did pretty well.
