Over the next two weeks you are going to have an opportunity as groups to learn about two technologies so you can write wiki pages about them. Part of the reason why we created this assignment was so you could see the breadth of technologies available for your specific discipline after it was all done, and so you could have the opportunity to learn a new technology.
I've seen some groups plan to do wiki pages on the Internet, movies, even magnets. Yes, these are all technologies -- but everybody already knows about them! The wiki is meant to be a collection of descriptions about technologies that aren't as well known ... so that we can teach other and give each other new ideas.
I STRONGLY suggest that when you're deciding what wiki pages to do as a group, that you don't do something easy or lame like the Internet. Talk as a group about what technologies are used in your field, technologies that maybe you don't know very well but would like to. Then you can study these technologies as you write wiki pages about them. If you have no clue what technologies might be good for your field of study, then ask your professors, practicing teachers, etc. As a last resort, you can brainstorm with me. I can maybe offer some ideas, but I'm not going to know your specific field of study as well as your professors would.
Have fun! And be bold and branch out--let's explore some technologies that may be unfamiliar!
