#29B Special Episode: Why Distance Learning? with Tsai Hsing Students

Why Distance Learning?

As a companion to episode #29A - Teaching Culture Across Cultures with Wendy Lee - this episode features six seventh-grade students from Tsai Hsing School in Taipei, Taiwan. Each student responds to the question, "Why Distance Learning?"
The students are part of a daily distance learning program called Learning Live, a collaboration between Tsai Hsing School, where Wendy teaches and serves as the Director of Research and Development, and Banyan Global Learning, founded by this podcast's co-host, Seth Fleischauer.
This episode was recorded as part of a teaching unit on podcasting. Students were asked the question, "Why Distance Learning?"; their most thought-provoking answers are featured in this episode. Seth recorded his interviews with these students live during their Learning Live class periods, while their classmates observed the recording process and discussed the experience afterwards.
Common observations from the students included their enjoyment of the recording platform, Riverside.fm, and the realization that podcasting was more involved than they had imagined. Tune in to hear these insightful young voices share their unique perspectives on the value and importance of distance learning in today's interconnected world.
