I am also signed up as a writer, only.

I like the increased granularity of this idea, Martha. It's one thing to break us up by level, but it might be even more valuable to sign up by level and by discipline. Not only would the feedback we might have to give be more relevant because we could narrow in on those who share our discipline, but we would also benefit from the ideas of those who are doing tasks similar to our own. :) Thanks for thinking of this.

In addition to the ideas you've given, maybe there could be a discipline category, especially at the college level?

Hi all, I've been reading the comments and came up with a table that might work. It's currently in the Camp Mentors folder, and it's called College Level Mentor List. If the group thinks this might be a workable approach to resolving the concerns, it could be populated by us and then moved to the college level folder or linked to the navigation menu. What do you think? Does it have promise? How might it be improved?

Linda, Vivian, Ms. Edwards: In the Camp Mentors folder on the Profile-Mentor page, the mentors have been populating the Homework Week fields with the groups of campers they will be responsible for commenting on each week. For example, I have volunteered to comment on the work submitted by the people in the Librarians folder. For large groups (such as librarians), mentors who have volunteered to supervise that work may wish to subdivide the responsibility further (perhaps by sections of the alphabet or discipline ... e.g., someone volunteers to monitor campers A-D, someone else volunteers to monitor campers E-H, etc.; or someone volunteers to monitor the High School folder's English teachers, someone else volunteers to monitor the folder's Math teachers, etc. ).

Linda's College Mentor table looks lovely. However, I'd caution against asking campers to pick a mentor because of the large number of campers we have. They seem to be somewhat overwhelmed by the sign-up process as it is; asking them to find another page and edit another table might be difficult. Further, it may be beneficial for the mentors to proactively divide the workload so that it is evenly distributed and no single mentor gets overwhelmed. (Speaking of which, Vivian, I have left a suggestion about divvying up the librarians on your bio page.)

I uploaded a file to the Uploaded Files folder, and it is my Wiki AUP I use with students. People are free to use it to craft their own. Now, how do we tell people that?

Fellow mentors: The librarian mentors have decided to divide responsibility for coaching the librariarn campers each week. We have posted a list of our mentor responsibilities on the Librarian Mentor page in the Librarians folder, and we have updated the Level-Librarians page to announce these mentor assignments. Perhaps a similar approach might work for some of the other large groups of campers. If so, feel free to "liberate" this idea.

A question about the mentor presentations. Where do we actually need to "be" when presenting? Will there be a special place in the wiki, or will we be using some other technology? Thanks.

I started a Middle Level Mentors page from the Librarian Mentors ideas. I made the page a template in case any one else wants to use the idea. http://camppbworks.pbworks.com/Middle Level Mentors Will the middle level mentors please join this page? Tamara? Danesa? Taz? Please help here so the middle level campers get a great start!

I would be very excited to help and will be more than happy to do so, but none of the webinar times really work for me. Any suggestions?

Ok high school mentors, even though we have been completely out-wikied by the middle school and librarian mentors (great job, seriously), I did want to mention that I began to add the word "graded" under the homework that I have commented on and is complete. I just thought it might be a helpful visual. Then I read that Martha is coloring the boxes. That works too. Any suggestions as to how you all want to communicate that this homework is done and complete?

Hi.
Taking advantage, I believe that compliance with all the tasks of the first week, but my link has not been selected with the color green. If I'm being hasty, I apologize that I am a little anxious, because we know very bad the English!
Kiss in the heart, Mara.

I haven't signed up for a webinar yet. They all seem pretty full. Any thoughts? ~Janette

Well, I'm with Bree and need direction too. I spent hours on July 3rd reading and viewing all the fantastic middle level finished video assignments for week 2. I marked their HW 2 green. Now, all the green is gone, so I'd like to know what we are doing please. I do add the tag, "pass," on the HW page. I also keep a running tally on my own wiki page so I know which campers I have reviewed. I'd just like to know so I can do it right the first time because now I'll need to redo everything. Thanks. Sheri

I don't think I'm going to be able to do a webinar because of a pile of different commitments, for those of us who can't, is there something else we can do? Create a video or a page or something useful?

I received an email that Tues July 14 webinar was cancelled; is this true? Then, I received a reminder to attend. Very strange. Sheri

Does all of the stuff we learned in camp work on the unpaid wikis?

Thanks for the information. I knew about the security but was sure about the plugins. I am teaching a wiki class before school starts and wanted to make sure I was correct.

I am a big fan of PB Works and really wanted to participate in the summer camp. Although, I signed up for it, due to heavy and sudden surge of work commitments I was unable to complete the assignments on time. I have finished all the homework but have not been able to watch any of the webinars. Am I still considered a participant? Will I get the free wiki upgrade?
