The assignment sheet for the wikipedia project is posted and I have written to each of you regarding your focus for your research project and how you might use some of that work for your wikipedia posting. We are actually a little bit ahead of what is stated on the calendar - since we previewed the assignment sheet on Monday.
In class Wednesday you will spend hands-on time in the presence of your classmates to familiarize yourself with the wikipedia editing processes. That way - if something doesn't work - there will be someone next to you to ask. Hopefully SOMEONE in the classroom will have the answer to all of our questions (and it probably won't be me - my editing skills on wikipedia are probably about the same as yours).
As I said in class - your future blogging assignments are going to be your work related to your research topic. At the beginning you will be summarizing and reporting on what you are reading - and as you get deeper into the project you will begin posing theories/answers to your research question. You can use RSS feeds or bookmarking programs as you choose - as I mentioned in class - my feeling was that you had enough to work with at this point. So Blog entries 7 - 10 will be on your topic, with Blog 8 as a report on your posting to wikipedia (see assignment sheet).
Good work on your research plans and see you in class on Thursday.
