Finn interviewed Gary Lowe, MD of Whizzkids Ireland, during the Youth Media Team’s first workshop held at #cesicon. Finn interviewed Gary while walking him through the YMTfm interview process from start to finish. Finn talked to Gary about Whizzkids who educate 15-18 year old students on a wide variety of I.T. skills from audio to videography.
The tables have turned as Chris is interviewed by attendees of the ‘Learn with the Youth Media Team’ workshop at Cesicon2016. As they were given instructions of how the youth media team run, they then decided to interview Chris, a member of the Youth Media Team.
They were interested in how the Youth Media Team made an impact on his life and wondered why he still goes to events with the team.

Tony and I interviewed Chris and Amy. We were struck by their enthusiasm for using technology for learning in formal educational settings.
We both got lots of ideas about how their skills and interests in technology may be fused with practice.
We learned about their differences in experiences moving from primary education to secondary education and how there now appears to be a more integrated approach to technology in education.

At the launch of Brendan Cummins’ book ‘Standing My Ground’ we interviewed Jackie Cahill who co-wrote the book with Brendan.
Jackie gave us an insight into the process of writing a book with a sportsman such as Brendan, his memories from Brendan’s career and a look at the man behind the public persona.

At the launch of Brendan Cummins’ book ‘Standing My Ground’ we spoke to Paul Collins, Journalist with Today FM and friend of Brendan. Paul talked to us about the qualities that Brendan brought to the game of hurling that would make him a good choice as future manager of the Tipperary senior hurling team. Despite pressing him to share some anecdotes about Brendan, he pleaded libel laws and declined to share one with us!
We had a bit of banter with Paul at the end – he reckoned one of us was good and the other was cat! You can decide which was which 🙂

At the launch of Brendan Cummins’ book ‘Standing My Ground’ which was co-written with Jackie Cahill, we interviewed Brendan, former goalkeeper for the Tipperary Senior Hurling Team.
Brendan shared his thoughts on the inspiration behind the book, his stand out moment from his career, how he is readjusting to life after retirement from inter county hurling and he even shared a story with us that he couldn’t include in the book!
