[LM_NET] OT: Help with "Video Yearbook" class

[Harry Coffill <HCoffill@EGRPS.ORG>]

Friends-

One of our new staff members has been given the task of creating a "Video Year 
Book." (I see that there is another post today w/ some questions about this--so 
I'll share findings...) This is an 8th grade class.

The class has few parameters--the previous teacher created a few streaming videos 
that were on-line for a week or two and I haven't seen them since. I'm reasonably 
certain that NOBODY looked at it.

I've suggested going back to a solid media (DVD or CD-Rom) and making a fairly 
simple categorized video for distribution or purchase. 

I know there are companies that SELL this service--we don't have the luxury of 
hiring one at this point in the year (or probably at all.)

Class is already enrolled and starts in January--(I know, how do you do a YEAR book 
when the class starts in January?)

I think the class needs a "Viking Funeral" but we're still committed to providing 
the best experience for students that we can.

Please help? 

Anything we can throw at the wall that will stick would be helpful. (Unspoken 
metaphor intentional)
