Welcome to our FCST 342 wiki for **FAMILY SOCIOLOGY**. This will partially replace Blackboard. Use this wiki to:
 * Access the course syllabus see link below at the bottom of the left, green panel "Schedule & Readings"
 * Receive course announcements
 * Access Lecture slides in PowerPoint
 * Ask general course questions on the Course Cafe link, rather than e-mailing me directly
 * Meet with your groups on-line
 * Attach your blog links

Blackboard will be used to access lecture slides in PowerPoint, readings that are not available on-line, to access the group project directions, and to take the midterm exam and final test.

A wiki is an editable document.

Throughout the class, I will ask you to go to this wiki, complete an assignment, most of which will involve writing in your blogs.

To get more familiar with wikis and how they are used click: [|Wiki Video]

As you can see in the Wiki video, you can edit this page just by clicking on the **edit** tab above this entry. After you edit, you are able to save your entry by clicking **Save Page** below.

I have created a Course Cafe Link FCST 342. Please post questions, comments, related websites of interest to this page. That way, you can ask and I will answer general questions and the whole class can benefit.

When you are adding your comments, please sign them with your first name and last initial. i.e. Connie G.

Also, because we are all working on the same living document, do not delete other student's entries.

We will also be blogging and doing group discussions. Blogging comes from the words web log. It is like an on-line journal. Feel I will ask you to blog on. Here's the link. Click on it and follow directions to set up your own blog. [|blogger]

After you set up your blog, return to the link wiki and click: ASTUDENT blog Page

Group links are below. Please click on the link to your group below. When you get to your group page click the edit tab. Type your full name and copy the the link to your blog next to it. Highlight your name and blog link then click the button at the top middle called "Link"
