You can put upcoming deadlines and projects on the homepage so your students can keep up with important dates.]]> 2021-06-01 16:10:01 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576800477 lilynoeb https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576800767 This is a great tool for both teachers and students journalists. Instructors can put together flowing slideshows and presentations to teach lessons on multimedia journalism. Students can lay out their stories on Adobe Spark in a visually appealing way and embed multimedia right into their stories (photo galleries, videos, audio clips, and more). They also have special deals and discounts for educators and students.]]> 2021-06-01 16:10:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576800767 lilynoeb https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576801359 I know you use WordPress as your host site for the student newspaper, but it has updated since it was implemented into the journalism program. It has a simple user interface that allows students to lay out their stories in a create and good-looking way (similar to Adobe Spark, but less themes to choose from). You can also embed more media options now. Students can also create their own digital portfolios here, which would be helpful to have before graduating high school.]]> 2021-06-01 16:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576801359 lilynoeb https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576802010 This is a great tool for creating and sharing presentations with embedded media. For the individual presentations students must give each semester, this program would be very helpful. They can link the story, share a whiteboard, videos, photos, and more with the class all on one platform and in one cohesive presentation format.]]> 2021-06-01 16:10:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576802010 lilynoeb https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576802284 Nearpod is a helpful classroom tool to use now that you and your students are back in-person. It's especially handy for the individual presentations and class discussions because it allows for students to post their thoughts and ideas on a collaborative white board. The instructor or student leading the discussion can ask open-ended questions using Nearpod rather than just raising hands; this way, the students who didn't get a chance to speak can add their thoughts to a shared board and still participate in the discussion.]]> 2021-06-01 16:10:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576802284 lilynoeb https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576844135 I know being a journalism advisor for a student-led paper can be challenging because student journalists can be very headstrong and look to you for guidance. There are always ethical dilemmas and issues with protecting student journalists that pop up every year; to prepare for these challenges, consider joining a Facebook group like this one called "Journalism Teachers" with over 2.5k members. You can ask questions, seek advice, find materials and lesson suggestions, etc.]]> 2021-06-01 16:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1576844135 lilynoeb https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1577650004 In this 2 minute audio clip, I explain why I thought these tools would be the most helpful for a Journalism Advisor and her student journalists.]]> 2021-06-01 21:09:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lilynoeb/k50vulm0n0sxu4id/wish/1577650004
