My intended project is to develop a format for using Blogs and Wikis in my classes next year. I want to set up separate blogs and wikis for each class, develop at least one project and also create a rubric to evaluate the student contributions.
Last month I introduced one class to blogging by using this practice blog. It is rather basic, but it includes some student contributions and comments about blogging. One thing I was reminded of today is the importance of a proper and structured introduction to blogging (what is it, creating accounts, appropriate posting, etc.).
One suggestion I have is for the members of CyberCamp to edit their profile (note: you have to be logged in to use this link) to include “First Name” “Last Name” and “Nickname”. Then, one can choose any of these names as a “Display Name”. This is especially helpful if your “Username” does not identify your first or last name.

You have some good ideas here.
My suggestion is that you start with something manageable so you don’t go completely crazy with oversight, particularly if you have multiple classes doing multiples projects on multiple platforms (notice the math element there — too many multiples).
Is there a way to set up a shared project for all of your classes?
Good luck
