WIKIS
So I ventured into the PBWiki site that Dr. Merrill set up for us. I didn't get to far, added a title and the names of the people in our group. Speaking with one of my class partners I think we were both a little unsure of exactly what is being asked of us. I was thinking that ultimately it will look like a Wikipedia page. Our topic for example is WIKIS in Education so am I right to gather information from credible sources and merge them onto our new WIKI page and credit the original sources in the WIKI. Kind of like a one stop shop for information on WIKIS in Education? Any suggestions?

I know exactly what you mean. I got into the site and did not know a thing about what I am supposed to do next! I am glad that I am working with Fred--he is the tech person after all! I hope he is able to assist me along the way. Is that all we need to do is find credible information and pretty much copy/paste it onto the site? I am as confused as the rest of the people in class I am sure! Thanks for your input on the social bookmarking page. I have tried it again and it didn't seem to work the way I wanted to. All I can do is keep on trying! I pretty much e-mail Dr. Merrill almost every couple of days asking questions about this stuff and he is very good at responding to all of my questions! I sure hope that our final exam will be reasonable! Can't wait for that. We think that we have so much time until the last time we meet for this class ---until the days just start going by and by and it gets closer and closer to the time we meet! Before we know it--we have to present our information, hand in a lesson plan, and take a final! YIKES!
I am also somewhat lost. But thanks for the clarification because I was unsure of what to do. I just completed my correct blog on yesterday. This computer technology is all new for me but I am learning a lot slowly but surely. Hopefully will do this Wiki assingment correctly. Mr. Merrill seems like he's an understanding professor and doesn't mind the help because it appears that computers is his best friend.
I am glad you post this because you don't know just how many other people you helped because they didn't understand either. Thanks
I am alway willing to help out when ever I can. This should be fun as I have been wanting to do some of these things to see how my teachers could benfit the kids in education.
I was somewhat intimidated on what the expectations were, also. Thank you for keeping us posted on all the information that we need to get our assignments underway. After making some changes and adding articles, I was having a pretty good time setting the page up.
