Most significant participant contribution to WIT learning

One of the best contributions to the community from Antionette Sigler. Surfing the Internet at 12:26 a.m., she decided to email Eta and point them to some information she found on the WIT site.:

Fellow Wit colleagues

It's 12:26 a.m. and although I am extremely tired, I am trying to work on some
ideas for my webquest. Of course, I've forgotten some of the material that we
went over in class today and my books are in the car and I'm going to get them
this time of morning.So I decide to click on the link "About Wit!" Once in
that site, I clicked on the link WIT 2003 Frequently Asked Questions. What a
great site!!! If you haven't seen it before, take a look at it. It had answers
to some questions that had been given during orientation that I had forgotten
about; such as the CPS Lane Promotional Credit paper that I must remember to
turn in and it also has an excellent review regarding the material discussed in
class today regarding the webquests. So if you're up late and can't figure out
what to do, click on that site if you need a reminder of the material discussed
in class on a particular day.
