Great work!! Your project fits well in a 3rd grade classroom and it is a topic students will be very interested in. The graphics are a bit large and take away from the layout at times, but other than that great work!! Aim/Purpose-Expert Statement explains why they will be doing this project in a direct statement. Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan-Mastery Lesson plan included in full, loads properly! Student Activity Page-Mastery Direction page is to the point, but the corresponding activity pages lack details at times. I could not tell what the 3D animal was or how to do it. If other teachers wanted to use this project it may be confusing. Parent Page-Mastery This page makes the suggestion to Google the animal with child- no other "support" really offered. Layout-Mastery The layout is good and very usable. There are some graphics throughout the project. Navigation-Expert The navigation bar is very helpful. Allows the user to move freely from page to page. Links open in a separate page which is great! Graphics-novice I do not see reference for the pictures used. The images are also a bit large for some of the pages. Accessibility-Novice No ALT tags or descriptions. Fonts-Expert Font is easy to read and does not distract from readability. Background-Expert The background and header are simple, but work well for the content area. Color Choices-Expert The colors are simple and work well with the theme. Spelling and Grammar-Expert None that I can find! Copyright-Novice I do not see references for the images used. Contact Information-Novice Email and contact information does not go beyond the wetpaint creation tag. Email and contact information left out for security reasons.

This is the link to my final project.

Michaela- Great job! I think with a few tweaks you will have a powerful learning tool on your hands. My biggest complaint is some of the color choice for fonts- but it is minor and easily fixed. -Melissa Aim/Purpose-Novice- There is a statement about the page being used for collaboration, but I would of liked to have seen more about the aim/purpose relating to the aspect of Women's Suffrage. This may be something that is discussed in class, but if another teacher wanted to use it, this would be unclear. Lesson Plan/Teacher's Guide/ Instructional Plan-Mastery- Link is included and detailed lesson plans are attached. Student Activity Page-Expert- Detailed instructions, great links, and a detailed rubric are all attached. Parent Page-Mastery- Includes a letter to parents explaining project. Layout-Mastery- Minor complaint- the color of the text gets lost at times and the fact that you have to scroll a lot to get important information on the home page detracted from the overall layout. Navigation-Expert- Navigation bar is easy to use and present on every page (that helps!) Resource links open in new tab which allows the user access to the activity details while researching- which is great. Graphics-Mastery- Graphics relate directly to the project, but I am not seeing citations for them. Accessibility-Expert- Images have ALT tags- no audio in this project. Fonts-Mastery- The color and size do not always match on each page . Background-Expert- The background does not take from the readability. Color Choices-Mastery- Links are the same color as some of the quotations- which can be misleading. The blue color is almost too close to the background color. Spelling and Grammar-Expert-none Copyright-Mastery- No separate citations included, but links to source included in quotes. Contact Information-Novice- No statement of authorship found

Pam I liked your wiki lesson plan. Depending on the age of students, the approach you took is very basic, clear, and easy to follow. Unfortunately the rubric asked for items you did not include. Some of it is the problem with wikis (I think) and some are just omitted. I think it might be helpful to give your kids more resources for their research and some more questions to answer on their research so they stay focused. I have not figured out how to post the review on Diigo, but when I do I will. Phil Howardell

Aim/Purpose-Novice-Intro page has very little information on it, but depending on the age group, which I cannot tell, it might be very appropriate. I think this page needs more of an introduction. Lesson Plan-Mastery-Links are clear, easy to find and they all work. Student Activity Page- Mastery-Directions page lack links and you really need to go to each group's pages to get some idea of what to research. Maybe put all the info for research from the group's pages on the directions page. Might be clearer. Parent Page-Novice-No parent page Layout-Mastery-Very basic layout and formatting. Its easy to follow but not much flair. Navigation-Experts-Navigation very easy to find and all links worked. This is strength of wikis. Graphics-Novice- No graphics for this site except the ads. Accessibility-Novice- No images so no alt tags. (I did not put any alt tags on my site either) Fonts-Mastery Background-Expert- Consistent use of background and text color made site have unity and clarity. No distractions. Color Choices-Expert- Consistent use of background and text color made site have unity and clarity. No distractions. Spelling and Grammar-Expert- As far as I can tell, not spellos or grammar errors. Copyright-Mastery- I did not see anything that needed copyright statements. Contact Information-Novice- No authorship statements on pages

Aim/Purpose-Mastery- I see that the purpose is to pay tribute to all great Americans Lesson Plan-Mastery-Very good. Links can all be seen. Student Activity Page- Mastery- Going to the group page can be confusing if students don't go to the directions page first. Parent Page-Novice-No parent page Layout-Mastery- Maybe could have used a collage of picture of the famous americans to be researched. Navigation-Experts-Easy to navigate and all links were accessible Graphics-Novice- No pictures Accessibility-Novice Fonts-Mastery- All fonts were uniform Background-Expert- Use of same backround for the entire webpage. Color Choices-Expert- Consistent with entire webpage. Spelling and Grammar-Expert- Did not see any errors. Copyright-Mastery- Contact Information-Novice- I did not see any contact information, such as an email address or phone number.

This is another well done page, leaving me in realization how feeble my skills are with technology of this nature. What an excellent concept to introduce the global team concept, something they may very well be doing in the future. All the links work, they secondary sites are excellent sources. Educate me if you will on which program was used to generate your project.
