News Story

Name: Erich Bobka

Date: 9/26/2011

Topic: Internet Accessibility During Study Hall

Angle: Students wasting time

Script IN (for anchor): How many students spend their study hall wasting time?  Here is Erich Bobka with information on how students could better spend their study hall time.

Stand up:  In this age of technology, students often rely on the internet to do class assignments. Here at Eastview the internet is not accessible during study hall time without a pass to the cluster or media center.  So the students just go back to their normal homework method. 

1st Interview: I just go home and do it.

Segue:  Home still seems to have the benefit over school concerning the internet and little is getting done during study hall.  With computers now having wireless capabilities, it would seem the school should encourage new ways to access the internet. 

2nd Interview:  To make the internet more available, the school could allow students on the Wifi without a password.

Segue:   Availability seems to be the key, but would students take advantage of this during their study halls?

3rd Interview: If the Wifi was more accessible I would use it a couple of times per week.

Close: Hopefully we can find a way to use all of the technology that is available to make those study hall hours more useful.

Reporting for the Flash, I’m Erich.

Script OUT (for anchor):  Thanks Erich.  It sounds like easy internet accessibility is what the students want to make their study hall time more useful.  Be sure to watch for any future technology changes.

OPENING ACTIVITY 9/22

Im surprised to see that this man could only get away with $200.  You would assume that he would have taken a lot more since it was a bank.  You could probably get $200 for robbing a gas station which would have gave him a smaller charge.  I thought that was good quick thinking by the store clerk to slip in the dye.  Im confused though how the dye works and how it got all over the place, it must work really well.

OPENING ACTIVITY 9/21

I think that man was insane to jump over the fence into the white house's yard.  He didn't even have anything on him so I don't see the reason as to why he did.  He probably knew what he was getting in to.  Now he will probably be imprisoned for a year or so all for nothing.  I wonder what his motive was.

Internet Accessiblilty During Study Hall

A Student Viewpoint

OPENING ACTIVITY

She was the first black girl to attend an all white school in the south.  This is significant because the south was just becoming unintegrated, and most people still didn't like blacks.  Everyday she had to go to school being guarded to prevent being attacked by angry protesters.  This was the start to all schools having both white and black students.

OPENING ACTIVITY 9/19

I think that it is really good that the Minnesota Zoo is starting to grow its own food.  It will probably save lots of money for Lancer.  I also think that the food will taste a lot better with being as fresh as it will be.  Maybe one day the farm will be able to grow all the fruits and vegetables that the zoo needs.  I think this is a great idea and that more restaurants should try and start doing this.

OPENING ACTIVITY 9/16

2 boys one 11 and the other 13 conducted a school shooting at their middle school.  They pulled the fire alarm then shot people as they came out.  They were armed with 13 different firearms.  Mitchell Johnson who was 13 and Andrew Golden who was 11 were the shooters.  I would take the angle of the other students and what they saw.  It is pressumed that the boys got the killing ideas from their gunclub and shooting at human targets there.

OPENING ACTIVITY 9/15

Opening Activity 9/14

Recently Apple Valley has seen an increased rate in car vandalism.  Police encourage residents to lock their cars, remove valuables from the cars, and if possible park in the garage.  Police report that the biggest spike in the vandalism was between September 2nd and 7th.  Most of the vandalism occured overnight and lots of tires were slashed.  Police also say it would be a good idea to turn on your outside lights at night, and report any suspicious activity.

Opening Activity 9/13

I think this is both good and bad.  It creates competition for facebook which is good because it stops facebook from being the only place to play these games.  It is kind of like stopping a monopoly from forming over internet games.  I also see this may be a bad idea because it might not go far.  People are constantly on facebook to see what their friends are doing.  No one just sits on Google, so people could play games on facebook while chatting with there friends or you can play games on Google Plus and not talk to your friends.  I just think that it is the peoples best interest to play games on facebook.

OPENING ACTIVITY

In the last 10 years Al Qaeda's ability to carry out another attack has greatly degreaded.  We take terror plot tips more seriously now and follow up on every single one.  Our security screening has also improved greatly.  As we continue to take out Al Qaeda leadership we are just pushing them out thinner into other countries.  We have made lots of progress however it is getting harder to track the remaining leaders as they run to other countries.  This can be benifitial because they no longer have strength in numbers, just small pockets here and there.

OPENING ACTIVITY

Sherburne County is panning on laying off 17 sheriff office employees.  14 of them are correctional officers and 3 are part time staff members.  The reason for the layoff is due to a decline in jail inmates.  In 2006 more employees were hired due to the allowing of inmates to double bunk.  Now the double bunking is no longer needed.  They are guessing this will save the county around $1.85 million.
