  • Covid19 | How Teachers are adjusting to Emergency Distance Learning

    Be sure to listen to our companion episode, HOW STUDENTS ARE ADJUSTING to distance learning.
    Guess what educators miss most about not being in school during the Coronavirus quarantine? It might surprise you! We, the freshmen podcasters of the Innovation Diploma program, planned, wrote, recorded, and edited, this podcast episode about distance learning from our homes while sheltering in place during the Covid19, or Coronavirus outbreak. We worked from home exclusively using recorded Zoom meetings to communicate. We asked, "What is it like for educators during emergency distance learning during Covid19, and how do they manage their own families while teaching us? It might surprise you to learn what they miss most.  Thanks to Bo Adams, Brad Droke, James Tiffin, Chris Andres, Kristen Pisacreta, and Eileen Fennelly for sharing their thoughts with us.

    The music is written and performed by freshman, Sam Hodges.

  • Covid19 | How Students are adjusting to Distance Learning

    Be sure to listen to our Companion Episode: HOW TEACHERS ARE ADJUSTING to distance learning.
    We, the freshmen podcasters of the Innovation Diploma program, planned, wrote, recorded, and edited, this podcast episode about distance learning from our homes while sheltering in place during the Covid19, or Coronavirus outbreak. We worked from home exclusively using recorded Zoom meetings to communicate. We asked, "What has the class of 2020 sacrificed to beat Covid19? Students tell us how they have adapted to distance learning, but, high school seniors explain what the pain has been like having their final year of high school cut short. While making this episode, something awful happened this week that changed everything about this story for us as we lost one of our own to Covid19.

  • Gn2GT Season 2 Episode 4 | The Crisis of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar and Bangladesh

    Getting Into Good Trouble | Freshman Podcast
    The season two freshmen crew delves into the next protest. We investigate the human rights abuses of the Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar, the International court's mandate that Myanmar MUST change its ways, and the strain all the refugees are putting on neighboring Bangladesh who are struggling under the strain of hosting the largest group of refugees in the world.

    In this episode, we give a shout out to TrevorJohns for giving us voice-over lessons this week. We hope we make you proud and that you can tell a difference in our flow (We ate apples before recording).
    We also give a shoutout to our listeners in Seattle. We have a nice following there, second only to our home city of Atlanta. Thanks for listening!
