Discussion+Rubric

=Group Wiki Project=

The Wiki will have three purposes: 1) for collecting resources, 2) for discussion, and 3) for sharing technology links, ideas, articles, etc.
 * What**: a collaborative project for everyone to participate and add to.


 * Where**: Discussion page

Every other week, I will post a discussion question by Tuesday's class. All responses and replies need to be completed by Monday before 10:00 p.m. This means that your initial response should be posted by Thursday's class, so that everyone has a chance to reply to at least two people.
 * When**: contribute once a week (as directed by course calendar)


 * How**: Reply to the posted question (you might use Word to write it and then copy/paste to the Wiki) and "sign" your post (by Carol). Next read over your classmates posts and reply to two postings (again sign your name).


 * Why**: Beyond that it is graded….it is a good way to learn about a wiki and to share resources with each other. However, here is the grading scale:

Specifically addresses the question and shows reflection Complete sentences and few spelling errors || More thought could have been given May not have completely addressed the question Not in complete sentences or several spelling/grammer erros || Short reply Not much thought evident No complete sentences Lots of erros ||
 * || 5 points || 3 points || 1 point ||
 * Initial Discussion Reply || Well thought out response
 * Response to Classmate || Use of original postee's name with response of affirmation, con || Original postee not given or response is not complete, accurate or appropriate || Short reply Not much thought evident ||
 * Response to Classmate || Use of original postee's name with response of affirmation, con || Original postee not given or response is not complete, accurate or appropriate || Short reply Not much thought evident ||
