Wiki+Prayer+Service+Structure

Timeline: two class periods. Justification of WebTool – a wiki will allow them to work together, while online. More than one student can collaborate and contribute. My hope in putting their learning on line is also that they will be more motivated and view the material as having greater relevance. Once they are line it will also be easier to access resources and share the resources they accessed. Evaluation: Completion of the wiki and sharing in class of the answers.
