CBC Kids News in the Classroom Registration

Whether you’re teaching school in-person or offering virtual learning, bring CBC Kids News to your classroom and get a behind-the-scenes perspective on how news is produced!
Connecting with a CBC Kids News journalist via Zoom, classes will learn the step-by-step process of how a news story is produced, including picking a topic, the interview process, selecting the subject, and more. This session is ideal for kids aged 9 to 13 (the content is not always suitable for JK - Gr. 4). To participate, you must have access to Zoom.
What you can expect from your CBC Kids News in the Classroom hangout:
Duration: 45 minutes
- Meet a CBC Kids News journalist, discuss news stories currently in the media and the steps required to produce a news story.
- Students can test their skills and see how much they know about news
- Learn how to spot fake news and the difference between misinformation and disinformation
- Classrooms will collaborate and build a news story using the details from their CBC Kids News Toolkit. You’ll receive a printable CBC Kids News Toolkit with your confirmation that we encourage you to review with your class in advance of your session.
Please note CBC Kids News in the Classroom is a virtual experience hosted over Zoom with three to five classes in attendance and will NOT be recorded. It is a camera optional experience with the opportunity to engage via moderated chat or microphone. If your child is participating virtually, their name may be visible to others.
