#BeELITE PODCAST
GRADES TK-12
The #BeElite Podcast club is open to all students enrolled at Elite Academic Academy!
The #BeElite Podcast was created to shine the spotlight on the Elite Academic Academy students and their talents. Students interview guests on a regular basis and upload episodes to YouTube. Students learn first-hand the behind the scenes skills of a podcast such as editing, creating taglines, intro and exit music, and preparing interview questions. Students also learn and practice communication skills by conducting interviews, social media marketing posts and promoting their podcast!

Students brainstorm the topics, creating an underlining theme for each month’s podcast episodes. Student interests drive the Podcast episodes and students are able to express their opinions, thoughts, and knowledge during the episodes.
