I have enjoyed my time with Wiki. I have gotten to know my classmates and where they are in their lives. We have learned to rely on each other and do what we are good at doing. They have taught me things I did not know on the computer. They are way more computer literate than I am. I am back in school getting my Education Specialist degree after getting my first Master's in Early Childhood Counseling in 1991. I cannot do so many things on the computer it puts a pit in my stomach when I leave our sessions on Wiki. They have been awesome. I learned a great deal from this experience. Since I plan on being a counselor, I have never thought about these different types of cases. They really made me think. I really enjoyed reading my groups reports. I do not have great word recall with my learning disability so I do not write stories well with lots of detail. Robert does that very well. He will make a great teacher. He helped me copy and paste on the computer. I really like that we sat here and discussed things as a group more than we did on the computer. We should have been doing it on the computer. We talked about what disability we wanted our student to have. How old we wanted him to be and what school he was going to go to. We know he was not pulling his grades and the coach wanted him to be passed. So we came up with a story from there and then we all wrote it. We worked well together as a group. Each person offered something different. Each person has a different personality in our group. I liked that. I learned from each group member. I think it is hard once you get to know them and then you have to say goodbye.

I always get intimidated by trying new things in class. I was scared by Wiki at first. I always thought I was doing the wrong thing. Once I got the hang of it I had fun. I feel like I know what teachers are up against. I looked at the web site you gave us, disciplinehelp, and that gave great examples. I would have never been exposed to this if we had not have worked on Wiki. I wish I knew how our story ends. I know this happens all the time in schools. I have not read any of the other cases. I know I will learn from them as well. I will take the time to read them.

I hope we were able to help Amber with her project and that we did it correctly. I know this was very important to her.
