Discussion Guidelines
__Be Respectful__- The Wiki is a fantastic place to collaborate and work together as a class to create ideas and solve problems but it is important to always be respectful of each participant as well as the class's Webspace. __Stay Educational__- The Wiki is a place to type and comment about educational topics, not about any type of social event. Educational can be current events, but it needs to relate to the topic at hand. __Teach, Learn, Ask, and Take Risks__- Make this place a site where you can teach others what you know and learn about topics you are unsure about. Collaboration is key, become a teacher, learn something new, and ask questions.
