June 15, 2006 (FPRC) -- EyePower, the emerging Video & Imaging software provider for Edutainment, today announced the worldwide launch of its innovative NewsMaker software. NewsMaker is affordable and appeals to children for home use and educational institutions of all levels. Using only a web camera, students can easily transform a small classroom into a million-dollar TV news studio or any outdoor news reporting scenes.
Students can now be transformed into the “protagonists” of their own production as news anchors or onsite news correspondents. Notwithstanding the amusement when seeing oneself in a video, there are also various fun and interactive features in the software that are able to turn up the entertainment level by a few notches: the students are able to play with the “Blue Screen” effects which they can create the impression that they are reporting a story in front of the Eiffel Tower for example; the students are also able to play with the facial detection features to superimpose funny hairdos or outlandish glasses on themselves without the use of any props. These characteristics in the software would impress on the students a game-like environment that would create in them the desire in wanting to keep “playing” with the software. Constant use of the software is desired to continuously reinforce the underlying educational cause.
Teachers are now also able to correct students in both their reading and their presentation skills. This is especially beneficial to students who are shy and who would otherwise find it hard to read in front of the class.
It is not difficult to notice that there are other benefits in using the NewsMaker software: cooperative and interpersonal skills are constantly honed throughout the project-based learning; creativity in students is nurtured in the brainstorming process and in making pictorial representation (multimedia materials) of their stories.
The holistic gains in this software can be maximized if the students are enthusiastic in their participation, and this is what NewsMaker was set to achieve.
