Brainstorming for Families

So our project for Digital Culture is coming right along, except we cannot figure out what will be the best way to compile and introduce our information yet. So I'm just making a quick post to comment on some of the things we talked about last Thursday.

We know that we still have a lot of research ahead of us. If we are going to compile the best information to help parents with internet use we will need to continue to do our research. We also need to define our area of research. It's still a little broad. We need to look into the different sources of information and projects that have already been based on the same ideas as our own.

We were going to use a blog to post all of this information. But none of us are actually planning on updating the blog after our class. The point of a blog is to continue posting and keeping the information updated. It's like a newspaper or a magazine that requires weekly/monthly/quarterly/annually published information that keeps its audience captivated by the new stories and information.

We were going to create a wiki with the information we have archived and collected, but then, since in the digital age everything changes so quickly, the information would become outdated too quickly.

We wanted to create an online brochure with available links to websites and information databases for parents to access. But without gaining a large audience, how will we even get people to look at the brochure in the first place?

Maybe we can just compile a list of tips and stories that have worked for other families? We can advertise our brochure (with links and blurbs that explain why these links are useful) on a YouTube channel? We can post funny videos, or fit funny videos into our own videos that we create. In our Youtube channel we can link to our brochure.

Needless to say, we still have a lot of brainstorming to work on. Any thoughts?
