WASHINGTON, DC -- (Marketwire) -- 06/29/09 -- NECC (Booth #1144) -- WeatherBug and
SchoolTube announced today a technology agreement to integrate WeatherBug
live, local weather content and videos for students and teachers across the
country. Available this fall, students and teachers will be able to use
WeatherBug weather graphics, maps, and real-time weather information from
its national network of 8,000 weather stations to generate and post
weather-centric videos via the SchoolTube platform.
This same weather content is available through the WeatherBug Schools
program to help enhance education through technology and to augment math,
science and geography lessons in thousands of schools nationwide. In
addition, WeatherBug media partners, that include weather experts and
meteorologists at leading TV stations across the nation, also use this same
content on-air during their local newscasts.
"We see this partnership as another great opportunity to extend the
WeatherBug brand and to provide many new students and teachers with our
professional weather content," said Frank McCathran, Director, WeatherBug
Education and Media Services. "We are very excited to partner with
SchoolTube to help encourage students to produce innovative and creative
videos by incorporating live weather information from their school or from
anywhere in the world."
SchoolTube is a network of students, educators, and industry working
together to foster video production and Internet publishing in a safe
online learning environment. SchoolTube is nationally endorsed by premier
education associations such as The Association for Career and Technical
Education, National Association of Secondary School Principals, National

"We are proud to welcome WeatherBug as another great partner in the
SchoolTube family and look forward to launching at the beginning of the
school year," said Carl Arizpe, President and Founder of SchoolTube. "We
are excited to provide students with a great new way to incorporate dynamic
and engaging content while also helping them to learn more about the
environment."
