News

I recieved the Uniysis Kidz Connect grant to start a class news programme and have started work on this.
The class completed a simple current events test as baseline data for me to show their understanding. This included school, local, national and internation questions. We also spend a bit of time looking at the local newspaper and thinking about news on tv to develop some categories on news. This can be seen on the voice thread on my class blog. Tomorrow we have Peter O'Neill, tutor from the Aoraki Polytech Journalism course coming to talk to us about what news is and how news can be gathered. Next step is to create our starting sequence and backdrop for the news. Then we will start looking for some news to report on around the school. Still need to work out green screen technology.
