Here’s a fascinating project at the Bering Strait School District (BSSD) out in Unalakleet, Alaska. Students create original video programs and make them available online, including some Iditarod coverage hosted by student news anchors. They even green-screen themselves into a fancy-looking news studio.
Sure, it’s not Brian Williams on NBC, but shoot — he never covers news in Unalakleet anyway, and how much Anna Nicole Smith coverage can you really stand? I’d much rather see the recent interview one of the students did with a snowmachiner on the Iron Dog race trail…
The kids have a video podcast, web pages and more. Here are some starting points:
- Student Broadcasting Team (SBT) web site
- SBT Video Podcast
- IditaProject web site
- Iditarod Media Gallery at the IditaProject site
- Bering Strait School District (BSSD) web site
I’m looking forward to what these kids do in the future. Perhaps they can help APRN turn into a video-based news service!
