Yep, the only things I can think of that will hold this sort of thing back are organising the workflow - staff checking stories etc - and building time into the curriculum. None is insurmountable.Julie Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271702980083511422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350350075050095994.post-43653468406050023642008-08-18T04:47:00.000+12:002008-08-18T04:47:00.000+12:00Thanks for you kind words about the site, Julie!As...Thanks for you kind words about the site, Julie!<BR/><BR/>As I wrote in my post about how we put NewsWire together (http://www.dave-lee.org/jblog/?p=345), it's such a simple exercise, it seems a crying shame that more j-schools aren't doing it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350350075050095994.post-70134820711711855702008-08-17T22:03:00.000+12:002008-08-17T22:03:00.000+12:00Go for it, Wintechies.

That was good for a week, but the second week we were static.<BR/>One key thing we expect of students is that they illustrate every single story; so everyone has a camera or high-quality camera phone. The production of images has been phenomenal.<BR/>Julie is just the person to get you guys organised - make the most of her.Jim Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08685946350130430198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350350075050095994.post-17298793180080392212008-08-17T21:32:00.000+12:002008-08-17T21:32:00.000+12:00I'm in a couple of days this week.

Email me at Wintec tomorrow and we'll set up a time.<BR/><BR/>There's a bit more to it than just setting up a site (who signs off on stories, for example) but happy to start talking about it.Julie Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00271702980083511422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350350075050095994.post-17081509999525375882008-08-17T21:29:00.000+12:002008-08-17T21:29:00.000+12:00Hey Julie, I've just been chatting with Karla from...Hey Julie, I've just been chatting with Karla from our class and she and I are both super keen about this idea. Are you going to be in Hamilton this week and able to slot us in for a chat?<BR/><BR/>I don't know how the technical stuff would work in terms of setting up the site BUT I happen to have a boyfriend who is a computer programmer/techy geek who is currently "in between jobs" and would def help out if necessary too.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00289017125978104226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4350350075050095994.post-84776060505006085132008-08-17T17:08:00.000+12:002008-08-17T17:08:00.000+12:00Well, maybe we should get together and talk about ...Well, maybe we should get together and talk about it.
