Well, it seems as though I was appointed to be a something or other today, job title to be decided.
My first minor contribution is to celebrate our school’s open learning week (year 9 students choose from activities ranging from paintballing to boat building). I’ve dropped a brief note into each staff member’s pigeon hole inviting them to contribute, text, images, video, animations of the activities they are involved in. I will then work with some students to publish these and build discussions around the material.
Not very new media, but material con be contributed by email, mobile phone (SMS or MMS) or by copying into our school shared network area. On our next school trips hopefully we will have students live blogging – but give me a chance I’ve only been in the job 20 minutes (literally!)

Congratulations?
Think you’re ideally suited to the job and you’ll make a huge difference. Well Done!
What about making the news for live blogging on school trips.
Priory School use it for ‘normal’ news http://kmi4schools.e2bn.net/mtn_priory/index.htm
and I’m sure St Louis have used it on their trips.
Congrats on the job with no name.
I’d heard about Making the News – but didn’t realise how much it was being used. It looks great, I love the stuff they’ve put up from Priory & St Louis – and it looks so easy! I’m usually a bit miserable about E2BN but this looks genuinely useful, thanks Liz.
