South Carolina and WebQuest

I currently find myself blogging from sunny South Carolina! I have been staying with a friend down here for the past 6 days and it has been fabulous! To be completely truthful, I kinda don't want to come back... :-X Seriously as a single 20-something searching for a house in northern New Jersey I find myself extremely frustrated seeing that I could buy a 4 bedroom house down here for the price of a one bedroom condo up there! If only I could somehow magically relocate my job, friends, and family to Blythewood, SC I'd be set! ;-)

In other, more NJCU related news, I have recently posted my opinion about using Wikis in education (I am an advocate btw) AND my group and I have been diligently working on our WebQuest. Though we thought it would be difficult to incorporate 3 different subject areas into one assignment, it has proved to be a successful endeavor thus far! We settled on the topic of "the cell." The history behind its discovery, the science behind its parts and purpose, and the art of creating a model. I'm very pleased with everyone's cooperation so far, and am finding it easier than I thought to complete a group project without ever meeting with them in person... I guess we should chalk another one up for technology and education!

Alright...off to lay by the pool for a bit more before the sun sets!
