Communicate 3.1.2 News Forum

As an online instructor, how do you plan to incorporate news items and announcements? What resources would you reference to format news items? Create an example of a News Item and share the example in your blog. If the News Item includes a video or interactive, please share the link or, better yet, use an embed code.

In order to include a news or announcement, I generally try to use features that are inherent with the program and easily visible.  For example, it makes more sense to include these items in the Announcement Section or the Homepage when the students open the page.  
For formatting, generally try to keep the information simple and in more of a Headline format.  As an example of a news item, here is a link to a 7 minute video that I used earlier this year to Introduce Unit 2 to 10 Grade Honors English Students.
