Homework:
By the end of next week you must also respond to at least one of you classroom's postings.You may post more often to express your opinions. All the postings must be related to this subject. If you have the need for other discussions, please start a new discussion group (please remember that I am the monitor for the discussion groups )

At the end of next week, I will freeze this discussion group. If you have not posted the alternate assignment is to write a one and a half page essay (12 pt double space)on this subject.

Why are we posting on this wiki? Because this is a communication technology class and we are using technology to communicate.
