During week 4, my group meet twice, Feb. 11 and 15(to make up a Monday class) for a significate amount of time. We worked together on two assignments, our group letterpop " 21 Century Skills Teacher Resource ToolKit" and our wiki. Our group member Lisa volunteered to create the letterpop while we gave her information to put on it. I felt like this was not the best way to create this assignment because it did not allow other group members to insert their own information. We had to feed them to Lisa. I would not suggest to use this web 2.0 tool for another collaborative project.
When this week started, I became frusturated with the Wiki assignment. Then when I came across the APA podcast, my frusturations went away and I became relieved and sort of excited!! Like I said earlier, I now know how to correctly cite my resources thanks to the podcast!! What an emotional week this was! Let's see what I'll be in for with week 5!
Our second collaborative project was to create a group page on our class wiki as well our own personal page. Here is where 
I struggled the most so far in this course. I had a hard time trying to create my page. It seemed like whatever I did, I could not save my information. I found this process tedious. After several attempts, I was able to successfully create my wiki page, check out my accomplishement!
I found the Recommended Search Engine Website and the Best Search Engine website to be extremely helpful. I was not aware of the search engine, Exalead, and I enjoyed how noodletools gave me an indepth description of each search engine. The article regarding the Q&As on copyright was resourceful as well as the copyright chart, because it I now know what I can and cannot "legally" show my students in my classroom.
Lastly, the APA & Plagaiarism podcast was extremely beneficial! I believe citing in the APA format can be difficult at times, especially when you're citing from an online article. Thanks to this podcast, I am confident my lesson plans along with any papers that require the APA format will be done correct! Woohooo!!! :)
