Research Project Update

I am well into my research now and for the most part I am making significant progress though I am struggling with finding theoretical, in-depth sources on wikis that I can really sink my teeth into. After talking with Steve, I think it makes sense for me to focus some of my research on collaboration and perhaps even social networking as a way to embed my ideas in theory. I have collected most of my sources with a few more to go and hope to start writing my project this weekend. Some good advice from Steve: if you keep reading the same ideas and keep coming back to the same place it’s time to start writing. I’ve also set up a wiki through pbwiki which is how I will display my final project. Although it is fairly simple to use, I’ve spent some time experimenting with layouts and preliminary organizing what I think will be the major sections of my project. Overall, the process is going well and I’m looking forward to putting my research into action.

Lisa - so glad your project is going well! Just wanted to thank you because, on Steve's advice to the class, I read over your biblio and found a good article plan on using: Joyce Seitzinger's article. Thank you! Colleen

This looks pretty good to me, Lisa. I think you've got a great direction going here and I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out as a wiki space.
