When the students entered the classroom, they could see that the desks were once again pushed to the walls and several stations were set up with electronics. "Welcome to class, guys," Logan greeted them. "So, with the warning that you shouldn't necessarily follow in my footsteps - at least where the administration can see you - I'm going to tell you what I've been doing the last few years back at home."

"So today, you guys are going to try your hand at information broadcasts. You're not going to have to do the hard part, the actual hacking, but you'll be working with a medium in order to get your information to the public. Choose your poison - radio, television, or computer - and then figure out what you would do if you hijacked such a transmission. Each has their points: radio is faceless and relatively easy to hijack, but the audience is generally smaller; television is pretty wide-reaching, but a lot easier to trace, so you have to limit the time you spend doing it; computer, at least in this exercise, is faceless and text-based, so you have to make it concise and interesting enough to grab someone's attention.
"Also feel free to do one of each, if you like. Be serious or have fun with it, either way, but whatever you choose, please keep it school appropriate? I really don't want to have to hand out detentions."
[OOC: Those broadcasts your characters make will be made available to the game at large to receive if they choose - please see this OOC post for details. If you/your character chooses to do something inappropriate for a school setting, Logan will hand out detentions - if you want detention, ping me in the OOC thread so Logan can do so. And remember, the more people that participate, the more fun this is! Thanks so much to
kawalsky and
ihatedenmark for contributing the awesome idea for this class session!]
