Moving Along with websites and wikis

This is all a bit overwhelming when you don't actually know what your doing. I kept reading the class wiki and trying to figure out what we were suppose to be doing. We currently have six topics under effective and efficient internet. I finally decided I would write down the topics and do an internet search to see what I could come up with to add to the wiki. I hope I'm on the write track. I noticed a classmate added some info from the Richardson book. It seems to be kind of an open ended assignment. I don't like that I need some kind of guidance. Then the website designing graphic pics of what my website might look like another daunting task because I don't have a clue what I'm doing. I guess Im allowed to use powerpoint or word but I don't know how on earth I'm going to present a website with those. If I had Smart Draw or Inspiration, it would be the same dilemma as I have with dreamweaver, I paid $199 for the student version and it doesn't come with a manual for dummies. Websites and wikis and blogs, oh my!

Website Design

Well I thought I had a game plan. I do have a game plan but my PC crashed and I was going to use FrontPage 2002 to design my website. I have an outline of my Instructional Design. I just wander how I'm going to produce it now. I purchased Dreamweaver for my Mac because both of my class syllabus suggested Dreamweaver. I found out its complicated. Jaime suggested classroom in a book. I dont know if Im going to have time to learn from a book and create in such a short time. I'm freakin out. I have not purchased the book yet. Im broke! Rochelle I don't know what graphic software Im going to use to show pictures of my design or storyboard. Any suggestions? Rochelle

Wikis

We have had a lot of discussion about wikis used as ongoing editing tools, as Wikipedia, and as a classroom collaboration tool. School districts use it to post subject matter lesson plans as resource for teachers. Everyone has submitted their ideas for what we want to learn about the Internet. Now we are just waiting on Dr. Ingram to decipher through all that to have a discussion on what our class project Wiki would be. I personally need to learn how to set up, format and edit wiki. I'm open to suggestions. I'm sure I have more to learn then I know to ask.
