The two basic building blocks are ‘Stories’ and ‘Blogposts’. A story contains multimedia (Think V.I.S.T.A – Video, Images, Sound, Text and Animation) and is easily shared. Future stories can be collaborative between students in the same school or even in different schools.  A Blogpost is a more personal publication.

– content can feature in one place – as top stories, votes etc
– Senior reporters can moderate content knowing it can be seen by any student
– badges can be shared within the network
– there is a cross platform App to post content
