NewsMaker - Write! Read! Publish!

|
3 Easy Steps to Making Writing and Reading Fun!
| |
|
NewsMaker allows students to produce impressive news
reports in
3 easy steps, using only a web cam and a PC microphone.
Step 1: Write
In
the role of 'reporter', the student plans and writes a news story in NewsMaker.

|
Step
2: Read
The
computer monitor 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. Additional effects can be
downloaded.

Step
3 : Publish
In this final step, the student
becomes the 'news producer' and publishes the recorded clip as a single video
file to be shared with classmates, teachers, family or friends. |
NewsMaker is designed to require minimal technology
skills, freeing the student to focus on reading the news story with accurate
pronunciation, clear enunciation, and appropriate intonation, and it helps to facilitate self-assessment and peer critiquing strategies too.
NewsMaker
facilitates a classroom environment in which students produce
well-organized presentations that clearly and concisely convey concepts
and information. NewsMaker provides individual students with
immediate feedback for self-assessment of performance. Students
frequently choose to rehearse and re-record in order to improve upon
fluency, rhythm, pacing, intonation, and expression.
