"The Student Podcast Challenge, now in its seventh year, recognizes great podcasts each year by students in grades five through eight, and nine through 12). One of our fourth-grade winners from last year, Ameya Desai of Williams Elementary School in San Jose, Calif., this year became our first-ever returning champion. She won our middle school grand prize for her podcast, Far From Home Shikata Ga Nai."
"Who really has it better kids or adults? In this lively and entertaining debate, fourth grader Ella Elraviv faces off against her teacher, Ms. Edwards, to settle the score once and for all. Moderated by classmates, the two discuss everyday topics like responsibility, bedtime rules and whether it's okay to eat Oreos for dinner. Ella argues that kids win, since among other perks they pay no taxes and have fun snacks."
Fourth grade teachers turned classrooms into recording studios; students submitted stories, interviews and commentaries to the Student Podcast Challenge. Judges celebrated detailed reporting on changing math instruction, the challenge of withdrawing from technology, and a balanced debate about whether kids or adults have it better. The competition, now in its seventh year, recognizes student podcasts across multiple grade ranges and expanded to include fourth graders for the second year. A returning champion, Ameya Desai, won the middle school grand prize for Far From Home Shikata Ga Nai. Three winning entries and two honorable mentions were chosen.
