http://www.protopage.com/teensntech - So take a look at what I've been playing with recently. . . it works like a wiki in many ways, but isn't it ever so cool?! From a "how does this help me" perspective, take a look at Comical Capers & Disney Dilemmas. . . some great project ideas there! The free comic creation site is AWESOME--nearly as good as Comic Life on the Mac! user:chericem1

Cherice, what exactly are we supposed to turn in for the tech project? A paper? A demo?user:armst136 NO PAPERS!  The point is that you DID something and are ready to share that with the class user:chericem1
 * 3/30 - Self-videotape and Reflection Due** - Do we have to turn in a videotape with this? Are we watching them in class? Or is this the same thing we turned in last semester? (aka Can we reprint that page & use it again?)user:knappla1
 * 4/20 - Professional Portfolio Due**

 * Technology Project** - Was supposed to be due 2/9, but we postponed that. So I'd say they have to be in by 4/20 at the latest. **- [|chericem1]** [[image:http://www.wikispaces.com/user/pic/chericem1-sm.jpg width="16" height="16"]]


 * Fun Wiki-related Stuff**

Check out the ways that this class is using wikis. http://art110.wikispaces.com/ Be sure to notice the use of the wiki to display student work (photo of the week), to engage students with text (daily questions), to create community (art110lounge), etc. Just out of curiosity, how many of you have started wikis with your own classes, family, or friends? user:chericem1

From the Wikispaces Help Board (and I'm curious to see what you all think of the metaphors SealWyf uses . . . do they describe your experience with wikis?): user:chericem1

um u may not kno me but can u tell me wat i am supposed to do on here? how can i tawk 2 people? can i tawk to people?

My name is sunshine2rain


 * [|SealWyf] writes:**

It's not a place for talking to people, **sunshine2rain**. It's a toolkit for building things.

A big pile of paper, a pair of scissors, some markers and a pot of glue, rather than stationery, envelopes and stamps.

A lump of polymer clay rather than a cell phone.

Some boards and nails and a convenient oak tree rather than two cans and a string.

So... what do you plan to put on your wiki?
