Working together using this wiki

Think of this wiki as a shared online whiteboard. Your entire group can share information using this wiki, making your research accessible to everyone. Play around with this wiki: Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text.

Group members

Once groups have been assigned, your name will be listed under the project in which you are assigned. Use your individual page to keep notes and a log chronicling your research experiences. Each group will also have a wiki page with a message board so that you can communicate with other students who are researching the same topic.

Hey everyone...I'm doing social networking, and am doing a concentration within music social networking sites, Pandora, Lastfm, and Imeem. You can visit my page for more info on all of them, but I just wanted to drop a quick note here to let you know that if you are at all interested in music, any of these sites are a great way to explore! -Jonna Shallbetter

Hey guys, my practicum project was to create a personal homepage. Here is a link to my site: http://mywebspace.wisc.edu/kmurphy3/MyWebsite/home.htm. Please remember to capitalize the M and W in the link because otherwise it will not work. I would love for criticism, comments, etc. My e-mail is kmurphy3@wisc.edu. If you have the time, take a look and e-mail me with what you think! Thanks! - Kari Murphy
