Your Students turn into News Presenters and Reporters to create their very own TV News Service!
Our NewsMaker Student Workshop provides students an easy and fun platform to practice writing, speaking and presentation skills.
In this workshop, students take on the role of news anchor and producer, creating their own story easily. The NewsMaker Student Workshop, designed to require minimal technology skills, facilitates a classroom environment in which students produce well-organised presentations that clearly and concisely convey concepts and information.
Step 1 - Write the Story
In the role of 'reporter', the student plans and writes a news story. This story is then imported into NewsMaker ready for step 2.
Step 2 - Read the Story
In step 2 the computer then serves as a teleprompter, and the 'news anchor' reads the story aloud for practice, then makes a recording. Built-in face-tracking, blue-screen and other fun video technologies makes it easy to overlay impressive visual effects. Students can also import video that they have shot at other locations making this an ideal way of bringing together information, video and sound from a previous events such as a school excursion.
Step 3 - Publish the Story
In this final step, the student becomes the 'news producer' and publishes the recorded clip as a single video file to be saved so that they can take home and share with classmates, teachers, family or friends.
How it Works
An information pack is sent to the school with some pre-workshop lessons that need to be delivered before the workshop day. These lessons cover topics such as "how to develop a storyline and script".
Schools may also wish students to pre-record any "on-location" reports using a video camera that can be then imported into the production on the workshop day.
During the workshop day students will be involved in:
- Learning to use the hardware and software provided (all equipment will be provided on the day)
- Shooting and editing their news report
