This is the third of a series of 5 blog posts about the 1st Class Kidz Digital radio project that took place in Hatton Cruden PS. Introductory post can be viewed here.
One of the most important ingredients in ant radio show id the presenter, or in the case of a music station, the DJs. I met with two sest of DJs at 1st Class Kidz Digital and chatted to both. First up are DJ Groove and DJ Tic-Tac. Have a listen to our chat:
These boys said a number of things during our chat that really chimed with me in terms of how this experience had impacted on them as learners. These phrases included,
“Mr Mier has given us the independence to work on this project”
“This radio project has made me look forward to coming to school, it’s not just textbooks now!”
“Everyone is focused on their jobs and we are all responsible…well most of us anyway!”
We learn from our mistakes…it’s a good experience to learn from your mistakes.”
I then met DJ DBoy and DJ Fluff Hop and chatted with them about what the inspiration for their comedy interludes were. To help me understand this they run through a rehearsal of their forthcoming show with me. Have a listen:
It is clear from that short chat with these boys just how involved and serious about this fun yet demanding learning experience they are. Watch out for these up and coming DJs on a local radio station near you in the future!
