Customer Reviews
Podcast 1
Great real content especially for assisting people to work through feelings of being uncomfortable. Conversation prompts for individuals and education and care services
Episodes 19-21
The content in these short podcasts is broad but useful for a range of educators. It suits teachers and educators to reflect and question their practice. The interactive elements at the end are a good addition. However, the presenters talk SO quickly through the whole thing. It’s as if they’re in fast forward! When communicating the idea of reflection, people need time to consider what’s being said and what’s being asked of them. This wasn’t offered with such a rushed conversation. Such a shame, as the points are important to communicate clearly.
