Making the News: KS2 KS3 KS4, ICT Across the Curriculum
This is an opportunity to share in the excitement of researching, reporting and presenting the news nationally via broadband.
This project will give schools access to a leading edge ?making the News? platform developed by The Open University. It will make publishing local news stories easy and collaborating fun. Each school will be equipped with their own newspaper web templates; stories, pictures, graphics etc can be cut and pasted to the live system whenever required. The regional and national editions will be fed form new material, once it has passed over the editor?s desk and each school has published its latest edition The results of this constantly changing feature will be shared around the 10 regional broadband consortia in England and with European partners too!
Whilst the online web-news editions will form the initial publishing mechanisms, this project is exploring how news items can be produced and distributed using audio channels and digital video. Partners in local radio have accepted the challenge to encourage young people to stream their own broadband programmes on air. Latest codec protocols are making it possible to record video news-broadcasts with standard web-cams and present web-tv inserts in the local and national newspaper editions online.
