The Class is currently using the class wiki located at http://mediaictrain.pbwiki.com/ as a virtual newsroom.
Because of the class large size, we have five groups working on five stories in all
This time we are going to use the WIKI as our newsroom, to do this we have divided the class into five groups

ppbthree - group three
ppbfour - group four
ppbfive - group five

1. Select a leader from your groups that is each group should have a leader ( especially providing editorial role)
2. Select a recorder, that is each group should have the recorder( to record and summarise the work of your group and posted it to mediaictrain@dgroups.org
3. Now have your first editorial meeting, basically select a story, the story can be relate to ICT journalism or ANY story of your choice
