There is a link to a feedback form in each module. Please use this to make comments, complaints, and suggestions about WIT, Epsilon, mentors, modules, lunches, or anything else. These messages go to the director, who reads all of them. You can put your name and e-mail address into the form or you can leave them out and be totally anonymous
Unfinished business: we need to make sure everyone has gone into preferences
and changed the outgoing mail server to rtc4.region4.cps.k12.il.us We
will demonstrate this, so you can wait and watch if you need to, and then do
it. This is supposed to eliminate a problem some of us have with sending email
with Netscape Messenger from this lab.
In the next two days we will finish classroom pages while getting an introduction to writing a web quest. Use your time in the lab wisely. Concentrate on the elements of your page and making sure they work. Dress up pages with graphics and colors after you get the content in.
Aim:
This module introduces WIT participants to the steps in curriculum development and supports them as they examine preexisting curriculum webs.
Rationale:
Planning is facilitated by a structure in which important issues are dealt with as a plan is developed. WIT provides this structure, through the elements of the teaching guide to the lesson or curriculum web. It is possible to treat the elements of the teaching guide as just a worksheet to be "filled in" so the instructor is happy. But we hope WIT participants will take the planning process seriously, treating it as a professional, rather than perfunctory, task. We hope that participants will be interested in why the elements are helpful, and that they will explore the optional resources provided, but we're "okay with it" if participants just follow the steps.

Home Assignment: Email the Epsilon Mail List and tell us what you think about curriculum writing.
