Web 2.0: PERIOD 7 ONLY, Wiki Spaces Project


Each group will sign up for 1 free wikispace account. Make sure you then go into the settings and make Private but add collaborators. Your partners and myself must be added.

The student in the group who's 1st name comes 1st in the alphabet will create the wiki. The full URL will be:
http://porfido7YI.wikispaces.com/ YI= Your Initials
Each group will get seven words to define using resources on the net so that you can understand the emerging concept of Web 2.0. 

•blogosphere
•Wikis
•Social Bookmarking
•Podcasting
•RSS Feeds
•Folksonomy
•The Cloud

Here are your guidelines:

1. Post meaningful, relevant information on their topic.
2. Summarize information you find on the Net and to link to it.
3. Continue to read your terms and ask yourself -- "What do I not understand about this topic?" and then to proceed to answer that question and post your findings.
4. Use some of the websites that you read about.
5. Don't delete information of another group member unless it was redundant or you paraphrased/edited it to make it better.
6. You will have to present their topic -- 5-10 minutes to summarize and demonstrate.
7. At the conclusion of each presentation, all students must post a comment on the page providing feedback or asking questions. (A feature and to keep you focused on the task at hand.)
8 Add images, videos, alter font styles and add links to enhance
