You've heard of CNN?  Well, now there's SNN!

SchoolNet News (SNN) is a national K-12 online newspaper sponsored by
Canada's SchoolNet and developed by STEM~Net.  It is a project designed
to get students writing in a journalistic style specifically for the
Internet.  SNN is a monthly publication with stories coming from across
the country. 

With the premier issue successfully behind us, we are now focusing on 
our special National Science and Technology Week issue.

The Discovery Channel is our partner for this new issue going on-line on
October 21st.  We are looking for science articles relating to topics 
covered in the Discovery Channel's Cable in the Classroom programming. "The
Science in Science Fiction" and "The Science of Cooking" are two topics
covered by Cable in the Classroom, and would be interesting topics.  
We are excited to announce as well that "@discovery.ca" has also agreed 
to use student articles in their show.   

We encourage all students and schools to participate.  Although the theme 
for our October issue is science, we are still asking students to submit 
articles related to news, sports, entertainment and opinion. Deadlines 
for articles is Wednesday, October 16.  For more information see:
