Morning News

I am a new media specialist at an elementary school and I was wondering if anyone that does the morning news has any tips for me or maybe a script that you might follow.... Thanks!!

  • We are a K-4 school. Right now we are doing our announcements with our Principal and assistant Principal. Once we elect our Student Council they will take over. We will have a total crew of about 10 and I hope to get them involved in every aspect from acting to editing. we painted a room green for our green screen studio and we shoot announcements the day before. I then put them on our share drive and the classes all watch them first thing in the morning. We do the usual..lunch menus, birthdays, special annoucements, etc... and then I try to throw in something special every day. Our theme this year is Star Trek so all of our announcement tie in that way. We also put them on our glog for the parents. If you'd like to see here is our site:

    I hope to have students do their own features with flip vids and edit them together. Wish me luck!
  • Hi...I don't have an answer to your question...but I sure would like to borrow your idea about the morning news....that is if you don't mind...what do you mean by doing the morning news??? how do you do it??? when do you do it?? are the kids involved???....I am trying to incorporate new ideas in my job as a librarian....so all ideas n suggestions are very helpful and appreciated. Thanks
    • We do... well, we will do a live broadcast where the students in grades 5 and 6 will do all of the broadcast themselves. Right now we are doing it via the intercom, but I am a new media specialist and haven't been trained on all of our equipment. We will have 3 news anchors and 2 behind the scences people (camera, etc.). The students share the character ed. word of the week, the lunch menu, and special announcements.
