Flat Stanley Takes Caesar Rodney High School By Storm!!**
 * Melissa Campbell's Wiki-Flat Stanley Reflection Page
 * __Participation in the Flat Stanley Project__**: This was a wonderful way to demonstrate many of the tools we have learned over the past five weeks. l learned quite a lot about how to add links and insert pictures, videos, and voice files into my wiki, which is something I did not know anything about before. The idea behind this project was for all the teachers and other students in this course to add their own wiki page to the already existing wiki page which highlights their week with Flat Stanley. They needed to talk about the adventures Flat Stanley went on, what he saw, and add a voce commentary of his week. I really enjoyed lookinat at other students' pages as well, as what they did gave me ideas about what to include in my page. It was also a nice way to learn a little more about what goes on in other teachers classrooms in a way other than blackboard posts. I referred back to the main Flat Stanley wiki quite a few times to make sure I had included everything I needed and to ensure that my page looked acceptable.[[image:SANY0006.JPG width="433" height="325" align="left" caption="Flat Stanley loves his coffee!"]]

__**Reflection:**__ This project was a fantastic (and fun) way to learn fundamental tools that can be used in the classroom setting as well as in future educational technology classes. I learned how to link websites into my page, how to crop and include pictures, and how to add voice commentary through Wimba. This was an extremely beneficial project. I also really liked getting the opportunity to see other student work. In online classes sometimes the personal contact that you would typically find in a face to face situation is lost. This helped to make things more personal while at the same time teaching us great tools we can use in numerous situations.
