Post this information on your blog. I will get it in my RSS aggregator for grading.
II. PART TWO
Write a three paragraph letter to the wiki's authors. Tell them a)what is good about their wiki b)what improvements you think should be added to their wiki c)the lasting impact their wiki-work will have on all who read it. Post your letter on your blog AND on the discussion tab of their wiki. It is a good idea to compose your letter in Word first and save it before you post it anywhere. It will appear in my RSS aggregator for grading.
III. PART THREE
Self-Reflection/Metacognition
Self-assessment requires you to evaluate your own thought processes. Reflective questions are the foundation of metacognition. Answer these questions in a substantial blog entry, using only complete sentences with standard English grammar:
* What was the most difficult part of this review for you?
* What do you think you should do next?
* If you could do this task again, what would you do differently?
* What did you learn from this review?
This section has a total of 20 points available. If you can produce a substantial blog entry answering all four questions with 50 words or less you can get 20pts. If your blog entry answering all four questions is between 51-100 words and correct you are eligible for 16 pts. If your blog entry is above 100 words you are only eligible for 12pts.
(Hint: Compose your blog entry on Microsoft Word. Have one of your peer review team members read it and edit it. Then reread and edit it yourself. Then upload it to your blog. Microsoft Word will count the words for you on the tools tab.)
If you did the class work April 13, 2007 in class, then you should be reading this in your RSS aggregator and not on the blog. There are also RSS reminders, and on and on and.....)
IV. EXTRA-CREDIT
Search technorati or del.icio.us using the tags on the wiki you reviewed. List two relevant sources of information that the wiki team did not.
