Making the News 2 (MTN2) is a website designed to introduce students to the world of online media publishing and broadcasting for the 21st century. Teachers may register, doing so will create a homepage on MTN for their school. The teacher may then create student accounts.
Students can then login and create articles and programmes which will be submitted to the teacher and if approved published on the school homepage. Well rated articles will be added to the National MTN2 site.
Articles may be text and images or they may be video, audio or a sequence of images.
Youtube without the related videos showing up at the end. lso allows you to search youtube without seeing the homepage. Very nice for keeping unwanted items from popping up.
