How to submit a news item to MTN
Teachers wishing to use MTN with pupils should first register on the site. From the home page - http://mtn.e2bn.org there is a link to the registration form. The teacher should complete the registration form. They will be sent a user name and password which will allow them to manage (edit, delete or publish) news items submitted by their pupils to their school’s news ‘rosta’.
How to submit news stories to MTN
In order to submit news stories to the news pages for their own school pupils must navigate to their school’s news ‘rosta’ (or you could set it as a bookmark in your browser)
From http://mtn.e2bn.org
Users should then find their school in the list and click on it. (Only registered schools appear). This is the school’s ‘rosta’ or news page and pupils must submit their stories from this page.
The illustration opposite shows the ‘rosta’ page for St Mary’s CoE VA Primary School. A newly registered school should see its name under the MTN logo but no stories.
It is essential that users go to their rosta before they try to submit stories. News items are submitted from another school’s rosta, the item will be associated with (and managed by) that school.
To submit a news story
Ensure that you/ the pupil are on your own school’s ‘rosta’ then…
This screen will then appear.
Pupils submitting stories
Pupils do not need a password – they use the ‘Guest Entry’ button.
A form will appear which must be completed.
The news story text may be copied and pasted from a word processor or typed directly into the appropriate box. Assets, such as photographs, videos and sound files can also be added.
Teachers submitting stories or approving pupil submitted stories
Teachers should use their username and password to log in.
In addition to the form above, teachers have additional functionality which allows them to manage stories.
Please remember:
Do not give pupils your username and password!
Registered users are responsible for checking and approving the content of all news stories on their ‘rosta’.
