Student-Run Newspaper Brings Campus Events to the World

Eaton High School is in its inaugural year, and the campus newspaper already has an online media presence. Even more impressive, it is run by the Newspaper class, which consists of three students.

Jordan, Mara, and Callie Ann describe their student-run Newspaper:

"Eaton High School’s journalism students have created an online newspaper housed on the Eaton HS web page, where the students upload stories, videos and photos of school news, features and events. The newspaper also reaches students and the community by student-run Twitter and Instagram accounts, posting daily newsworthy photos and captions. Students also create Youtube videos edited in Adobe Premiere Pro, also posted to the newspaper page and Youtube, including highlights of sport events, school activities, and student interest videos."

Students frequently collaborate with each other to decide the best wording for each post before posting to the accounts. Using these digital platforms, students connect campus events with an instant, authentic audience. The Twitter and Instagram accounts have several followers -- 67 and 79, respectively, as of the publication date of this blog post -- and continues to grow. Students are also planning to present at this year's Techno Expo event to showcase how technology has transformed their learning. Make sure to stop by their presentation on Feb 25 to hear about their experience!
