Whole Team Journal Assignment: Creating a Team Wiki Page

From this week on, your "Shared Journal Assignments" will become "Team Journal Assignments". For this week, some preliminary tasks are assigned to your team to kickstart your final projects.

1. Name your team and create your team home page on the wiki.
   • The name of your team home page should simply be the team name.
   • This page will be the main place from which your team project will be managed. Include all of the information/links that you think will be useful for your team to organize your work and communicate with each other and with the instructors. Hint: the kinds of things that are on your own User pages and on the course Main page can be used as a guide.
2. Create a link to your team's page on the course Main page.
3. Create a template for your team with useful information and links that you will invoke on all pages that you will create for the project.
   • Create a category using your team name and include it on your team's template so that it also gets used on all pages you will create for the project. Also use include the category "Group Projects" in your template.
     • However, please do not add these categories to your own individual templates because we want them to precisely mark pages having to do with the Group Projects and your team, respectively.
4. Each person needs to write a short executive summary of that person's progress on the project for the week, with links to the relevant individual journal pages (which will have more detailed information).
5. Each team member should reflect on the team's progress:
   1. What worked?
   2. What didn't work?
   3. What will I do next to fix what didn't work?
6. Note that you will be directed to add specific information to your team's pages in the individual portion of the assignment for this and future weeks.
