2017 WW: MAG: The Web Report: Education and Educators: Planning

The Web Report: Education and Educators: Planning 
Plan for a video-based web magazine reporting on educational activities in virtual worlds.  Each edition/issue would have a lead editor and some others.  The edition would consist of videos  about education in virtual worlds with introductory videos made in web-world sets.

Tasks of editors

  • Find and select content for each education issue/edition.
  • Get videos produced to present selected content.
  • Get videos posted on YouTube.
  • Produce a talk show for each issue/edition.
  • Talk show could include some people featured in the videos.

  • Videograper.  Captures video, edits and publishes it.
  • Promoter. All on staff act as promoters.
  • Task roles are things that someone has to do.
