Lisa says: I did not have to look this one up because I use it already! My only problem with it is that there is ALWAYS something new on it and I feel like I am not keeping up. I give this a 5 for content.

Hi Josh, I LOVE your idea, but I just tried this link and it does not work. Just redirects back to this page.
Lisa says: I did get it to work, and liked it enough to leave a post for the moderator. This is what I said:
This site was recommended my classmate Josh, for teachers who have a smartboard in their room but do not really know what to do with it. I use my smartoard a lot, but would have liked to see this overview when it was first put in my room. I aso like the links you included. I rate this site a 5 for teachers who have a smartboard but have not had training in how to use it.
Ok I got it to work by highlighting the text and pasteing into the navigation bar. I added a link below it that works better for me.
This video outlines how to get started on SMART board. It is very informative, but very dry to watch.

After that, I am giving up, way too much hassle and frustration to go dig up the other group's wiki urls.
Hi everyone! I think our Wiki looks great! I am in the process of checking out the Wikis of other groups right now. I feel your frustration with the lack of organization on finding the Wikis of other groups. I am spending a lot of time looking through all of their posts on the discussion board. A lot of the resources I have looked up involve integrating technology in the classroom, rather than special education resources. I did not add a special education page because I did not have any resources for it. Instead, I stuck with my integrating technology page. Hope you all had a good weekend!
Hi everyone,
Great working with you on this wiki. I think our looks good, and I am relieved I finally got it to open. I did (after much digging around) manage to open Group A and Group B's wikis, which also look good. A has a wonderful chart for their rating scale, and added lines between their resources which looks really professional. Group B's had lots of pages, they did a page for each resource and then each of them rated it, which looks really cool.
There is actually a place to make a blog in the Walden site (the link is at the side) but I can't see it every time I open the course and only one group used it. I definitely did not notice it when trying to create our wiki! I found the links for the other group's sites by rooting around in their application discussion posts - which I suppose is the same way they would find ours? Although by inviting some people from other groups to become members of our wiki I guess at least they know about it now!
Anyway, I am off to write about this assignment. Thanks for all your work!
