I decided to write my blog on my project idea because I feel like I need to. I have decided to change some of it because I get the feeling it isn't digital enough. I was looking back in time while I should have been looking forward. I'm still going to keep the teenagers going to a school in the past but they will not be from disadvantaged areas. I said before that there would be 40 teenagers but I decided to cut it back to 15. To bring the numbers up to 30 people, the other 15 people will be adults with no experience with computers and they will have to learn computer skills like teenagers today do. The adults could be the parents of the children in the old school or they may not, I have not decided yet. The only technology the teenagers will be allowed use is a web cam to keep diaries. These will then be put on the internet where they can be viewed in their entirety. The same applies to the adults. The adults will be allowed access to some parts of the internet. If they try to communicate with the outside world, they will be made type pages and pages of HTML.
In addition to the school work, both groups will be made to do tasks. The tasks will be chosen by the viewers by going to the web site and and voting. Full profiles of each individual will also be available on the web site.
The idea of the series is to show teenagers the difficulties their parents had going to school and to show parents how difficult school is today for their children. I added the parents learning computer skills, the web cam and the web site to make the whole project more digital orientated.

now it's taking shape! good ideas re: interactivity with the viewers, and the different age groups will increase your audience base. what's the ultimate goal of the show? are they competing to win a computer? a list of some potential tasks and the rationale behind them could be part of your portfolio.
