Newspaper / Media Clubs at Other Schools *PLEASE READ*

[The Editor]

Hi everyone,

There are other schools around the country with websites, Nings and blogs similar to the T-Bird Times. I'd like to ask that everyone review the sites below and be prepared to discuss them at our meetings this week. I think we can learn from these other schools! We don't have the be "just like them" - we want to be OURSELVES, after all - but I think there are important things they do that we may want to try. Also note - some of these are high schools or private schools - very different from NCS.

What you need to do: browse these sites and make some notes about what you like and don't like, and be prepared to explain why!

Thanks!

These are really cool websites. I think a poll would be awesome on the tbirdtimes.

[The Editor]

Cool, what sort of poll? Ideas please!

[Joey Kangaroo]

haha, umm...maybe for new ideas, like...: what would you like to see next on our website? or...for random stuff. like: m&ms or skittles?

[The Editor]
