[youthradioleaders] radio camp advice sought

[Jones Franzel]

Hello there,

Such wonderful resources and ideas!  I'll add a few that live on Generation PRX:
- There's the general Learning & Teaching section, with radio curricula from Katie Davis, the Global Action Project and the EDC
- The Listen Up!  Audio for Educators group page, which emerged out of a workshop I co-taught with the unstoppable Shea Shackleford and Tennessee Watson at the Center for Documentary Studies in 2009, includes outlines & handouts for designing audio programs and useful links for Audio Teachers 

Also, +1 for Lissa and Vivian's terrific Teach Youth Radio, and Y-Press's new tool, Subject Matters - all are awesome.
Now Erin, can adults sign up for KBOO's camp?  This looks like so much fun!

Yours,

Jones
