Oops

I'm going to add my group's email addresses to my PBWiki page so that you can view it whenever you'd like. But I'll add it AFTER this weekend. I don't want you to see it in its bare-bones.

Going to wait until the students add just a FEW tiny things.

If you want access now, let me know. Otherwise I'll invite you on Tuesday (the next time all my classes will have met).

Is it just me or has Wil not posted anything?

john, you have a great plan. I read your proposal with much excitement. I really like the questions you ask about how much time they spend on their wikis. Will you compare the amount of time they spend on their wiki to the amount of time they would spend on their project without this technology?
I think I will revise some of your questions and add them into my questionnaire, which I will need to administer sometime this week.
Both you and Reece are pros at this questionnaire thing. I am going to use some of your ideas, guys.
It is difficult to know what questions really focus on helping us answer our problem of practice.
Are you going to use grades from last year and this year to compare? Like Reece, I am focussing on intrinsic motivation through collaboration. I am not thinking of bringing grades into the equation at this point.

hey guys, I have decided to change my problem of practice. the aim is to see if wikis change students perspectives on group work. In the past some of the teachers have had complaints from students and parents about the lack of opportunity for groups members to meet as well as the lack of effort from some of the other group members. I have also used some of your survey questions. Maybe we can compare some of that data with one another at a later point.
