=What to do:=

Your group should research about the topic given to you by the teacher.

1. You have to create a wiki page for your group and register the members of the group.

2. Then, you have to split the work. One member has to be responsible of one tool:

3. The accountable for each tool should watch the videotutorials, open an account on the tool, create the material and invite the rest of the members to work on it. So, the accountable for googlemaps, should watch the videotutorials of googlemaps, then open and account and create a map, then invite the rest of the members of the group to collaborate in its creation. He/she should also send an invitation to the teacher (wikiteacher@gmail.com) Besides, he/she is responsible of explaining the rest of the members of the group how to use the tool, dividing the work that should be done on the tool in a fair way and check that each member is doing the work properly and on time.

 * Creating presentations (power point, moviemaker...)
 * Creating and editing a glog (glogster)
 * Creating and editing a timeline (dipity, xtimeline)
 * Creating a map (googlemaps, googlearth)
 * Creating and editing a voki or xtranormal video.

4. Organize the research. Create differente subpages and link them on your page to organize the information you are obtaining about your topic. Decide who is going to research each topic, issue or event, when he or she will do it and how will he/she share the information with the group. 5. The teacher will set a deadline for delivering the material. 6. The accountable for each tool would embed the material on the group's wiki page.
