I needed some clarification on some of our assignments for class. I think others might be in the same boat so I emailed Dr. Merrill. I thought I would share with everyone who reads this the questions I had and the answers (in red) he gave me.
1. Is there anything specific you are looking for in the Wiki? Our team's Wiki is on the Use of Wiki' s in Education. We were thinking of having it reflect a Wikipedia page, with information on the history, current uses and future of using Wiki's in Education with credible resources listed.
You should also include how teachers and students can use wikis to enhance teaching and learning. Wikis are not just for getting information, they are also for creating and sharing information.
2. Should our Webpage contain everything that was done for the class? Does the website need to be posted and then also put on the CD?
Your homepage will have links to all the assignments. The page(s) are not posted, rather they are burnt on to a CD-R only.
3. Are we presenting anything in class? I know our lesson plan needs to be on the CD, but are we also presenting the lesson plan to the rest of the class?
No to both.
4. I know for our blog we need to post at least three times a week but for the other two posting are they just a one time or as many as we want deal? Fred Sharpsteen created his own googlegroup and I have joined that one and posted to it but I wasn't sure how many times I needed to post to the Web Chat Board and Usernet groups to receive full credit.
I don't set a number of times on the chat board or Usenet groups but you should think about reading and contributing on a regular basis.

Thanks for helping to clear up some of these questions. hope all is going well with you and your projects. This is interesting to me as it is getting me to use these tools and to help figure out how they would fit into are schools and work for teachers.
Thanks again
I really appreciate you passing on this information. I feel like there is so much to do before we meet again. This helps tremendously. Best of luck to you.
Very good information. This is going to move me further ahead now. You are very helpful. May God bless you for your act of kindness. Even though you only had three responses so far, me being included, I know you've blessed many others in the class as well.
Clarissa, thank you very much for answering some much-needed questions. I recently printed off your entry, and feel very good about my assignments. Thank you for the help!
Thank you so much for asking these questions, but I am still in the confused state. I just need to buckle down and finish up my lesson plan--have been doing good on my blogging and replies/postings (saving them into my word journal for later save on the CD), now--my web page--a different story. I just want to finish what is needed by tomorrow so I can have the ability to link everything into my journal. Oh yea--I have to write a 1 page reflection of the technology that we used or learned in this class--but, am unclear as to how many technology uses we need to write a reflection on--any ideas? Let me know. Good luck and I will see you on Friday and thank you so much for all of your help in the past week or so!!
