At kitZu, you will find a collection of free, educational, copyright-friendly media resources. Students and teachers around the world can access pre-made collections, or "kits," of various digital assets - still images, background music, narratives, video and text. Each kit is built around a common theme, or curricular topic. For students, this becomes the construction paper of the 21st century --allowing them to create reports and projects filled with rich, immersive media for communicating their vision of whatever subjects they chose. AS they master the technology, they will progress from building projects with supplied materials to projects where they find or create their own resources -- a strategy that results in truly authentic assessment as measured by the projects produced.

The Website is a newspaper clipping generator. Students type in their "news story" on the computer, create a name for the newspaper, create a headline, and add a date. They type in their news story (it can be a brief, couple of paragraphs) - click the generator button, and an authentic image of a newspaper page appears with their news story.
