Example 1. English Department

A high school English class takes on a school E-zine website. Using the various text types and outcomes in the English course, students submit content to the site. They submit creative writing, news reports, analytical writing, instructional writing, text reviews and responses, blogs, pictures, videos and other work they would usually do as part of their course.

Each month a group of students or a class can be assigned the task of "Editor" and they are responsible for that month's edition of the E-zine. These Editorial tasks involve Sub-editing, moderation and publication with supervision from a teacher.

Example 2. Learning Team

Primary and Middle School Learning Teams can use online publishing in a very effective way. Because of the close working environment within a learning team, students can take on a whole year group E-zine and submit content from all subject areas. This E-zine can become a cross-curricular project base as students take information and learning from a range of subject areas and under the guidance of a number of teachers. This website in turn becomes a terrific knowledge base and motivational tool for subsequent year groups to view and use.

Example 3. School Student Council

Many schools work hard at making their student councils truly representative of their students and responsive to their needs. A student council body could have their own website where they raise communicate with students in the school and also with student councils at other schools. Ongoing work being performed by the council can be reported on the site as well as other information designed for the student body.
