1. Journal 2. Wikispaces Tutorial 3. Final Project
 * Agenda**


 * Due Date:** Final Project due 6/1

Today we are going to continue introducing our final project. This final project is going to be very self-motivated and self directed, meaning that you are going to have a lot of say in what you do, but you are going to need to keep yourself on track. If you waste a lot of time you will not finish, or will end up with a crappy project. You are going to search for internet resources and make an annotated list on your wiki. There are certain criterea for what type of websites you should include, but the final decision is yours. Annotated means that along with a link to the sight, you will have to include a detailed description of what the site is and does, and why you included it. An official set of questions will be forthcoming. The codeword for today is "wishfuL thinkinG."**
