What is Hiki Nō?
From: http://www.pbshawaii.org/hikino/index.php
Hawaii’s only public television broadcaster has partnered with more than 60 of Hawaii’s public, private and charter high schools and middle schools to create a statewide student news network with all schools collaborating through equal access, regardless of geographic boundaries or economic challenges.
Student-produced newscasts and other content will be available on PBS Hawaii’s broadcast and web platforms. The model is the first of its kind in the country, and PBS Hawaii has branded it HIKI NŌ – the Hawaiian phrase for “can do”.
HIKI NŌ; is an example of media and education working together for a better society. Many leaders in education and business in Hawaii and across the nation see a model like HIKI NŌ as an opportunity for students to develop the skills and competencies they’ll need for the 21st century.
