Seymour High Blogspot

[|Click here] to visit the page.

1. Only five students may choose this option. If you are at all thinking of studying in journalism in college you should fight for this job. Practical experience is essential.
 * If you want to be choosen you must submit a [|1 page letter of intent] by the end of class on Thursday. I will choose the editors along with a committee of teachers and administrators.

2. If choosen you will edit the blogspot as an online newspaper. You will collaborate to choose:
 * Publisher (overall technical, advertisement, communication with administration, etc..)
 * Editor in Chief (coordinates, final decision for what stories get covered)
 * Reporters/Editors (responsible for one area of school : sports, news, academics, etc..)

As we add reporters you will have to have a structure that works. You will collaborate using your blogmeister. This structure will be very loose. You might do a little of everyones job.

3. Research and reflection: 4. Create an account on blogger.com. I need to add you.
 * How should an online newspaper be set-up? Find examples of other great online student newspapers.
 * What information at SHS needs to get out?
 * What is the best way to do it?

5. Create entries. Report, edit, post, etc...

6. Document the process, learning, and questions on your blogmeister.
