3. Project Overview What is eJournalism? Ejournalism began in Saskatchewan in 1999. A small school from Northern Saskatchewan embarked on a conference called Rural Education. Students from this high school covered this conference using a variety of media and technology. The provincial Learning Technology Unit provided assistance. Realizing the power of this learning, the LTU decided to take it a step further and look for schools who were interested in this type of experience. A legacy began.Learning Technology Unit  http://www.mjsd1.ca/~rbl/ejournalism/
