 * JOURNALISM WIKI**

This year, we will be using Wikispaces to complete some of our assignments. We will use the Wikispaces to post current events, show critical thinking of the media, and express opinions on the news. Assignments will change throughout the year, and you will be notified of specific assignments and dates along the way.

First, you will need to access the Wiki by accepting my invitation and creating your own Wikispace account. Then you will be able to access the pages for journalism and begin posting to the discussion board.

Please email me with any questions along the way! You will be graded on your work here!
