Project Page

From LIS 460 Summer 2007

This is a mock-up of what a Project Page would look like for my Innovation in the Library Media Center project. The idea is that a teacher could post the syllabus/assignment sheet for a given project and students could then edit the entry with suggestions for resources to use for the project along with links to the resource pages. In this mock-up I am using an assignment from the Quincy Public School System and some of the requirements I've encountered but not the actual assignment sheet.

Heritage Report

The Assignment
