VIDEO SCHOOL-WIDE NEWS WORKSHOP
What is it typically like when the announcements come on over the intercom in the mornings?
Kids are coming into the classroom, unpacking their belongings, getting their homework out and starting their morning work. They are chit-chatting with their friends and catching up, per usual.
Meanwhile, you, as the teacher, are greeting students, checking homework, taking attendance, checking up on emails you're doing all the things to get the class ready for the day.
Oh and through all of this, the school announcements are going on overhead and no one con barely hear them.
Maybe they are saying something important, maybe they aren't. (Who knows because if's hard to hear.)
The announcements seem to drone on and on and no one seems to be listening anyway.
Your school doesn't have to keep doing announcements in this outdated method.
There IS a more engaging way to present the same information more visually...
Wouldn't it be nice to have announcements that kids ACTUALLY listened to that was student-centered?
School-wide news that is so show-stopping that your students are begging to watch it to see themselves (and their friends on camera).
A daily routine that you can count on that is informative that students pay attention to.
…so much so that they will contact the STEM teacher when her clubs are announced incorrectly…
Students who can't wait until it's their birthday because they know they will watch when their name is read on the screen. Or those who are excited to hear if their "Joke of the Day" will be read at the end of the video.
Likewise, you have a team of students who are pumped to be living out their YouTube-star dreams and get to be on camera.
Meanwhile, you have a team of students who are editing the content and making the school-wide news stellar to watch.

What teachers at naomi's school thought about the video news…
"I loved having the RHL News in our school! Naomi did such a great job organizing both the Filming Crew & Editing Crew.
Students loved seeing themselves on the news. It was a very popular club. It seemed like teachers and staff paid more attention to the news once it was in video format.
The news has helped to build community at our school. Students would come to my class and tell me that they saw me on the news!"
-Lesley T., art teacher
"I love the RHL news because if's a consistent way to receive and spread information to my students.
It provided reminders for teachers about after school clubs and upcoming events. It was 5 minutes every morning to help kick off the day.
My students love seeing themselves and their friends deliver the news!"
-Leslie P., 3rd grade teacher
[Our school] news is wonderfull It is a great way for the entire school to get information, but not at the same time. It gives teachers flexibility to do the morning announcements when it fits into our mornings.
It is also great to see students step up as leaders. And it was a great way for teachers and staff to promote their own clubs and after-school activities.
And, of course, the Joke of the Day. It genuinely made me laugh alongside my students. Another thing I loved was the Crosswalk Questions with Ms. Meredith. It was interesting and fun!
I highly recommend all schools create something like the RHL news to better build your school community:"
-Faye A., 4th grade teacher
"Naomi's video news program was such a great addition to our elementary school.
Kids paid more attention to morning announcements because they were listening to other kids.
Naomi set up an easy way for teachers to submit announcements and items that needed to be included in the news.
I truly believe that the news was the reason our Fun Run funds did so well the past two years. We shared important info and exciting videos about the run that were in front of all of our students every day."
-Kim H., gym teacher

Meet your host, Naomi Meredith
I'm a K-5 STEM educator and business owner in Colorado supporting elementary teachers world-wide navigate the best practices, strategies and tools out there.
I have over a decade of experience teaching, 5 years teaching elementary STEM, along with a M.Ed. in STEM Leadership and STEM Certificate.
When I first became a K-5 STEM teacher, we used to have the school announcements come over the intercom in the mornings.
While the information was helpful, I noticed that the information wasn't being absorbed by the students (or teachers).
Likewise, they were super disruptive in the morning routine and could last even up to 10 minutes!
I knew there had to be a better way. Using my passion for podcasting and creating videos for YouTube, I came up with a system for pre-recording the school. wide news. By taking the same information but putting it in a visual format, the absorption of the information shifted.
Not only that, I saw our school-community grow closer in ways that I never thought were possible. From the kids who were on the News Crew to the ones that were watching it, each day's message was something everyone looked forward to.
In my Il years of teaching and hosting a variety of different clubs, running our school news was the most favorite club I ever hosted.
I am ready to help you set up your school-wide news in your own school to make it an engaging and fun experience for your students.
In this 2-hour, on-demand workshop, you'll walk away with a plan and resources for setting up your video-school wide news.

I know what you're thinking...
This is too much work to run the school-wide news.
What is even the point of this?
Can't we just keep our announcements the way they are?
By shifting the way that the information is presented in this video news, we are teaching students skills they are going to need in their futures.
Being able to speak on camera and also having video editing capabilities is an essential skill that more and more companies are looking for when hiring employees.
Video content isn't going away.
Video is how we search
"Video traffic will drive 82% of IP traffic (Internet traffic) this year' [Cisco]
We use video to find answers
"YouTube is the second-most popular search engine right after Google. It receives more searches per month than [other search engines] combined.' (Oberlocom)
Video improves recall
"Studies have shown that the use of short video clips allows for more efficient processing and memory recall.
The visual and auditory nature of videos appeals to a wide audience and allows each user to process information in a way that's natural to them. In a nutshell, videos are good teachers."

Employers want video skills
"Video plays a massive role in our lives. It helps us get informed on the world and to learn new things.
The ability to express oneself on video is an extremely important skill in the 21st century, and it's only going to become more valuable. Being able to speak on camera has played a major role in building my entire career.
