The students at St. Elizabeth School in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada use the uploaded articles to create, manage and publish NewsWave Canada electronically on the WWW for the whole world to see. Participating schools are linked through NewsWave Home Page. A series of discussion topics for students, covering such global issues as poverty, human rights and peacekeeping were posted to focus participants' thinking and analysis. Youthspeak discussions will be mounted on the web site. Students participating in this multidimensional project not only become researchers and analysts, but also writers and publishers.
Students develop skills needed in the information age.
Through the use of technology they gather, analyze, process and communicate information dealing with contemporary issues in the real world. NewsWave will be published 4 times a year in two formats. Each Special Edition of NewsWave Canada will be organized around a specific theme. Registration, timeline and theme description for future Special Editions will be posted on the SchoolNet Listserver and on this web site. Jump to the most current Call to Participate .
