feel free to do so.
B. The 8Ws by Dr. Annette
Lamb can be found in the required text. It is also on the web: http://eduscapes.com/sessions/wiggle/wiggle.html
C. http://www.edtechplanners.com/sites.html
Compare and contrast two
different processes for designing information-based projects. Your
assignment is to write a comparison in the form that you like best.

there steps that you like
better in either of the processes? Why? You will need to mail
this assignment to me. |
