Radiowaves: Safe school podcasting, video, and blogs for young people to report on their world

A little while ago, I was interviewed by children from Weldon Primary School for their WeldonWaves radio station, which is part of the Radiowaves network. See Blog article.

I was impressed by how interested and engaged the children reporters were in this activity and investigated the idea further. Some of what I learned is summarised below. For more, including the Basic Free Membership Option, see the main Radiowaves website.
