Epic Learning - Term 4

Big Learning for Term 4 is Participating and Contributing and Leadership/Social Studies.

I really want some powerful learning to occur next term - as Ewan McIntosh would say - 'Epic Learning'. Thinking we could create a reality TV show - kind of Survivor/The Apprentice - where the students compete in teams and undertake challenges designed to test their leadership. The students will create an episode a week that is shared on the school television network and via internet. Each student will have the opportunity to partake in the challenges as well as the TV production.

Not sure what software we would use to create the episode. We hope to have access to Flip video cameras to film the action.

What do you think? Does this sound like an engaging (and doable) idea?
