First broadcast at 9pm on Friday 13th March 2020
We set out to prove a concept that hosting a live radio show with stimulation from Blog Posts was indeed a viable way of reaching young people during a School shutdown due to the impact of The CoronaVirus.
Ian Rockey - Headteacher of Westwood with Iford Primary School Nr Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire co-hosted this live show with me. We was at home in Wiltshire and I hosted from The Anderton Tiger Radio Studios in Buckinghamshire. We wanted to test that this method of carrying the Educator's voice live into the homes of young people would work for instructional learning and it does, just listen to the comments from around the globe during the show.
I've offered to provide a FREE service to those without live radio stations for the duration of the School closures. All Educators need is a Skype connection and to direct listeners to my listening portals.
We also talked to Ty Goddard, Mark Anderson and John Sutton about their ideas around this topic.
