Welcome to " Mission Possible"...

Over the next 9 sessions your children will not only have fun working with some different types of media on the computers, but they will also learn how easy it can be to generate ideas for writing. They will learn how to create a “Glogster”, how to create a Wiki page and they will be provided time to explore, comment and ask questions on their friend’s pages.

The purpose of this experience is to show your children how easy it can be to generate ideas for writing, and to practice writing in a "real-life" situation.

The students will work with me 1-2 times per week – at their teacher’s discretion – and as a group we will complete the “Missions” together. The children will also be able to access the site from home (should they choose) to add to their pages during thier own time.... Working at home however it NOT required.

To access the JMQMissionPossible site at home, here is the URL you will go to.

[|www.jmqmissionpossible.wikispaces.com]

You can view the pages without logging on... Remember this site is a work in progress, so as the weeks progress, these sites will become more and more elaborate. If your children are interested in making changes to THEIR OWN pages of the Wiki while at home, they will need to log into the wiki site.

To do this, the login is:
 * Username: jmqwriting **
 * Password: jmqwriting **

Students are asked to only make changes to their own pages. Changes are monitored, so any changes made will be able to be identified.

For easier access to the Glogster pages, I have included a link on the wiki page under “LOGINs for GLOGSTER”. Here you can find your name and click on the link to access your own Glogster page.

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Looking forward to working with your children!!
