Newsday Sponsors
Learnnewsdesk is the Guardian's online news service for schools. Featuring
daily stories, podcasts, quizzes, curriculum links and activities,
learnnewsdesk invites children to submit their own reports and podcasts
which can then be published on our moderated message boards. Learnnewsdesk
can be accessed directly from the learn.co.uk website or via learning
platforms.
 As
experts in low cost, simple and troublefree computing devices already used by
journalists for newsgathering in the field, AlphaSmart is an ideal sponsor of
the Newsday competition. The company was set up to develop affordable
computing products for schools, helping them bring ICT into every lesson. Its
Neo word processor can be used in any location, in the field or the classroom.
Alphasmart is offering nine AlphaSmart Neos (a lightweight, affordable computer companion designed to increase student access to ICT) as prizes.
(This site has some guidance in using the AlphsSmart Neo for newspaper articles.)
