MTN (Making the News) is a fantastic site where kids can create their own newspaper, tabloid or magazine. The tool is easy to use and you can add your own photos and pictures. What a great way for students to share what they are learning or to share classroom information with others. No email address is required but a password must be created to save work and come back to it later. I do not believe that MTN can be shared online (really not sure) but it definitely can be printed. We have a few classrooms working on an anti-bullying assembly performance and they could use this in several ways. Could be created as a one page ad, advertising the upcoming performance. Could be created with stories about anti-bullying articles. Could be used as a prop in the performance. Could be used to document and share everything they did while preparing for the performance Could be used as a way to share biographies of the performers. The list could go on but my fingers won’t. I’m not the greatest typist by any means. That’s probably why I like short posts. As always I have added this to a LiveBinder. Write On! for Kids is one of my favorites and I think this one is a great addition. You will find MTN under the tab “Even More Ways to Write Online”.
