I interviewed Mrs. Bray a media specialist at Carrollton Elementary School. She is responsible for the early morning which runs daily at 7:50am from the media center's video production room. Students are showcased on the morning show and they are third grade students selected by teachers. This elementary only has PK-3rd so the 3rd grade students are the most mature ones and therefore they are responsible for the morning show. Usually the show contains the pledge read by the 3rd grade students, announcements from the principal, and the character education word of the week. Participants are selected by having each third grade teacher choose two students, male and female of different ethnic groups, to participate for the week. At Carrollton Elementary the video distribution equipment is used quite often.
The system is used for broadcast, holiday videos, character ed videos, school produced videos which advertise upcoming events like fundraisers and book fairs.
After viewing gpb.org my favorite section is the Digital Library section which I can now add to my list of resources for the digital storytelling project.

Atom,
I like the fact that teachers are involved in picking the students for the video broadcast. I also like the fact that different ethnicity groups are included. Hopefully, students are also selected with differing levels of achievements (not always the high achievers and target students). I attended one elementary school last year and the same child was always broadcasting, I always wondered why they did not let any other students act as news broadcaster. Broadcasting the school information throughout the day would also help to remind everyone of upcoming events.
