Using PNN in the Classroom
Step 1. Ask students what topics interest them:
Make a list of the topics they come up with and catagorize those topics:
- Sports
- News
- Art and Entertainment
- Lifestyle
- Politics
Step 2. Students sign up to cover topics:
Many of your students will be interested in writing, photography and videography. PNN caters to these interests. Students can easily write, photograph and video their topics. At least one student in the classroom will be the Editor. They will have the responsibility of putting student content on the PNN Class News Page.
Step 3. Assign the Biography:
Have students write a 1/2 page biography and email it to the Editor.
- What do they hope to accomplish
- What is their experience and what are their interests
- Who do they admire
- What do they want for the future
Step 4. Set a deadline:
The deadline can be weekly, monthly or bi-monthly. By this date students must submit their pictures, stories and video to the Editor. The editor then puts the content on the PNN Class News Page.
Step 5. Grade content from any online computer.
