Overview
Students used LoiLoNote School to synthesize what they had learned about how media supports daily life. After teams researched and visited a TV station, radio station, or newspaper company, they used the app to create presentations about what they saw and learned. Teams were given ample time to plan their presentations, create, evaluate their own work, and implement improvements prior to presenting to the whole class.
