Welcome to the C&I 212 Wiki


Here you will be working with your group to develop the Issues Digital Story.

To the left you will see a link for your group. Use this area to write the script, brainstorm in the discussion area, and create a final draft. All this can be done asynchronously, or groups can meet face-to-face. You can also use Google Docs (this link gives you a tour of this Google tool) to create a Word-type document to work on.

It is important for each of you to leave a trail of your involvement in the group activity. If I do not see any posts, discussions or involvement, then it will not be possible to award credit.

In light of Sir Ken Robinson's talk - Be creative!!
