Our wiki project is coming to an end. Now is the time to show all that you have learned. Over the past 3 months you have been learning about several web 2.0 tools and how they can be incorporated into your wiki or website. Many of you have gone above and beyond and now is your time to show what YOU know. You have my permission to "Show Off!!" Below you will find the Wiki Project Rubric & Project Guidelines that I e-mailed to you on November 15th. You will have the next three weeks of class to work on your project wiki.
