Group+Research+Wiki+Project

**For your Wiki Team Project (you may conceive of each component as its own "page" on your Team Wiki): **

 1. You will jointly create an annotated bibliography of the “**best”** nine articles you can find to educate others about the use of the tools and applications utilized related to your topic. You must either upload electronic copies of your articles to your wiki or provide URLs for each article.

2. You will identify the top leaders in the field – business, school, social, and media uses.

3. You will identify the emerging technologies being developed that will impact, improve, discourage, and/or revolutionize the use of tools and applications related to your technology topic.

4. You will identify case studies of “best practice” or innovative use of tools and applications related to your technology topic. You will provide summarize of each case study – school or business – and describe in detail how the technology is used to improve their practice (teaching, learning, business communication and collaboration, etc.)

5. You will use this Wiki in your final presentation as you summarize the research you found, the top leaders and emerging technologies related to your topic. Then you will present your case studies/real world examples using information provided online as well as other resources your group wants to bring in for this 30 minute team presentation.
