EP8MM: What should we do?

You as a class need to decide "our" format to present information throughout the year. For example, do you want to have one class "magazine/website" or a few different ones? Do you wish to hook up with the school website and and not create your own? What about creating informational DVD's to give out to students or to the community? Maybe you can think of a way/format that hasn't even been done anywhere on the internet before. Think about what you would like to try and post a comment below (as "anonomyous")
