The editing exercise sentences are now posted on the wiki. If you haven't created a page for one of your reviews and put the text of your review on that page, you had better do it soon! This is a required assignment. In addition, you are required to read five reviews by other students and comment on them in the threads below. This is also a required assignment. Together these assignments total twenty points. These are your final wiki assignments. Get moving!

Okay, you students, get going on your wiki pages! There are a couple of sample reviews and web pages for you to check out. Remember that you are in charge of the formatting on your page, so feel free to be creative. You will get full points if you create a review page under your main page, post your review on that page or an attached page, and include a video or a picture or extra information to attract the interest of your readers. Once you have created your review pages, you will have wiki homework that involves checking out five pages by other students and writing comments in the threads below their pages. Have you been exploring the wiki pages? Many students have very nice pages already. Take a look!

You students did a great job working on the wiki in the computer lab on Wednesday. As you may remember, you have the option of attending class in LB245 on Friday and Monday to work on your wiki pages or logging on to the wiki from elsewhere and working on your wiki pages. I'll check the wiki on Saturday if I feel well enough, so leave me a message if you'd like.
