For this assignment, I talked with the media specialist via the internet (chat line,userplane, by accident) at Northfield Middle School about both subjects each subject concerning broadcasting and educational resources. First, I spoke with Amy Sieve, media specialist of Northfield Middle School. Firstly, she did say that the school does have a closed-circuit system, which is broadcasted with the school (building-level broadcast only). She said for the most part, it tends to mostly be the school news, but there are also televised events, such as school meetings and sometimes cable and local network televsion. For cable, she explain that the school had to be very careful of the kind of stations that are broadcasted over their airwaves, during school hours. She said they typically keep it to CNN, History Channel, and CSPAN, while for local station they keep to KTCA (PBS, Channel 2), WCCO (CBS, Channel 4), KSTP (ABC, Channel 5), KMSP (FOX), and KARE (NBC). Teachers do not have access to the distribution system, itself. It's primarily up to the main user (Media specialist), of how the content is distributed across the school. The school uses a webservice called Eduvision.TV, which serves as a video streaming service for organizations, educational institution, and business who would like to broadcast their content across the internet, rather easily, with a higher degree of security management, compared to independent uploading or even more popular video uploading sites.

Users receive greater distribution of bandwidth, large file storage, automated transcoding, embeddable players, and unique portal page.
The school news at Northfield Middle takes place everyday in the media center. There are about 33-36 studetns who partake in the production of the TV show, as it is taped live and broadcasted around the school to start each morning on a closed circuit system (but later streamed through internet).
The news typically starts with the Lunch menu; school announcements of school-wide or grade level issues;club and group meetings; and a great number of smaller segments (independently produced by individual students), such as Karsten on Tech (technlogy segment) Artley's Animals, At the Movies with Luke, Professor Pun, About Gaming, Book Review Weekly and many other unusual segements. More times than not, there's rotation of anchors and segments, though each day, while it's more often than not produced by Ms. Sieve (Media Specialist).
Postitions include one controls manager, one sound manager, one floor manager, one omputer operator
, and several Camera crew, while
the on air includes one main anchor and co-anchor, two sports anchor, two anchors for Around the World,and many individual students who are able to submit their idea to star on the news show.
