Description & Goals

Report activity

The Report activity is designed for students to learn and actively participate in journalism.

The activity provides:

A tutorial for outlining a news article
A free writing mode
The ability to include a photograph (later video)
The ability to publish to an online blog (xotimes.org)

It is our goal that the software will be included as a core activity.

The larger goal is to provide children a voice in world events.

Grant

We are in the process of applying for a grant with the Knight Foundation.

  [The AbiWord module needs to be modified to somehow spit out data in a better format]
- No implementation work has been done on the plan tab.
- The username and password to the blog have been hardcoded to post to http://olpcjam.wordpress.com
- The launch date for v1.0 is November 30, 2007

Current Tutorial (8KB) history	RTF Tutorial on writing a news article

XOTimes.org

We intend to create a blog/news web site where the news articles will be published (a la CNN or Digg).

We have secured the domain name xotimes.org but this is subject to change.

Hopefully some of the more popular articles will get picked up by the mainstream press.

Some features we would like to have:

Private Group Blogs
Digging (voting) best articles
RSS

Team

Dan Sutera at NYU (General /Grant / UI)
Rajesh Ramakrishnan at Columbia University (Development)
Emmanuelle Collet (Tutorial)
SJ Klein at OLPC (Advisor)
Brendan Ballou at Colombia
