Mission: To record on going activities at your local ITT campus. This may include audio and/or video surveillance in the classroom, talking to a rep, your program chair, or financial aid.
What you can do: If your attending ITT, just go to your class and record it, post the file on youtube or a sharing site.
If your not attending ITT you can still help. Go to ITT and schedule (or just popin) a meeting with a rep. Make sure you use Fake information, don't let them have your real address or phone # (they will hound you until you die or change your information). Record the conversation with a REP, FFA, Program chair, Dean, and/or director. Post the evidence on youtube or a sharing site like rapidshare, 4shared, or sendspace.
I will Host and Post the top video / audio files here on the site, but will include all of the submissions.
How to do it: Most of the time a modern cellphone will be just fine, for recording video and/or audio, you will need a microsd or some other memory card so you have enough storage space. Most cameras have a voice recorder which is really good and can record hours of audio, video cameras on phones may differ. Photos are great too!
If your having a meeting with a person from the school ask every question you can think of! Look below for some sample questions.
After we have the evidence: Reply here or PM me with a URL of the file(s), i will grab them, view them and put them on the site. Or you can use a video hosting service (youtube and others), then just put the video url in the [video] tags.
