 * Aloha, CEP818-ers!**

At this point, some of you are wondering what your groups are to accomplish with one of your major assignments, the CEP818 wiki "Sparks of Creativity".

I guess I would turn this right around and ask you a number of leading questions. > //(Hint: notice that each wiki page links to other pages and also to related ideas & sources, using both text and rich media.)// But wait — there's more....
 * What do folks do with a wiki?
 * What can a wiki do?
 * You've been to Wikipedia, yes?
 * How about Wikitravel?
 * Wikiquote?
 * What do you notice about these sites?

"What I cannot create, I do not understand." **//Richard Feynman//**

Have you played around with the CEP818 wiki tools yet? Have you visited //your// pages? Or our //shared// pages (Wiki Working & Tech Tools)? Or looked at the beginning work on Chapter 1?

"Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff." **//Captain Kangaroo (Bob Keeshan)//**

Sometimes play looks unstructured and unsystematic, but if you watch closely, you can see that the children here are learning how to interact, working seriously on their projects, and willing to take what is around them and put it to use. Observe, model, imitate, imagine....

"Play gives children a chance to practice what they are learning." **//Mr. Rogers (Fred Rogers)//**
 * Some suggestions:**
 * 1) You and your group should review what the course web site has to say about this assignment. Parse it out. Make it clear to yourselves. And look for the fun in the assignment.
 * 2) There's also the announcement of the wiki on the site. Look that over, too, just to be sure you know what's being asked of you.
 * 3) Please look at the Wiki Working page on this site. I've put in some useful links to help you understand how wikis function.
 * 4) The Tech Tools page should be part of your work here, too. Share what you have learned and used. Wikis are collectors of communal knowledge. Add to what we know or should know about.
 * 5) Start learning the technology! The content will come along as you and your group work through your chapters and the course. But don't forget that DECEMBER 3RD is a date to plan for. You should be working on this all along.
 * 6) Don't delay, start today....

And now, a **//test//**.

If you've read this far, then your task is to change the color to blue for

one of the words of this paragraph using the editor . I dare you to Improve the world!!! my the writing. Change a =//color ﻿ //=

. Or a **style**. Dew //something// to show that **//ewe//** were hear and you edit.
(baaaahhh). The copy. And for the very ** brave **, go beyond the Visual Editor and test out the Wikitext Editor. It's hiddenmedia type="googlemap" key="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&t=f&ecpose=42.72691114,-84.47908649,386.93,-62.109,4.422,0&msa=0&msid=105783274055617572925.00049168b6f5910d1aefc&ll=42.739098,-84.510449&spn=0.403447,0.543823&z=8&output=embed" height="100" width="100", but it's powerful... //Imua!//
