How cute is this! The Today Show is holding a contest to find a kid reporter. They have videos online of each child's submission and you can vote in their semi-final round.
While I watching one submission, it occurred to me that some of these videos were very similar to students creating digital stories or videos. One child, Vanessa Radke, did a report on how to conserve water. She had all the facts in her report and made it professional, yet entertaining to watch too. It reminded me of an alternative assessment. You have to think that she did research to learn more about this topic and give tips and then report on it.
Another child, Noah Johnson, did a report on trains and why they were important in American History. He interviewed one of the conductors and tour guides and did a great job of putting information into his report.
I guess it's the journalism major in me coming out, but go check this out!
What do you think? Do you get any ideas for videos students could do? Post away in the comments below!
