First+Wikispace+Questions

**Wikispaces Project** // **Introductory Questions** // //**Directions:**// Please answer questions completely and honestly. Your feedback is crucial for our project. No research is expected/required, just answer from your current knowledge. We do not want to know what you can __find out__ about the topics; we are curious as to what you know already. There are no wrong answers, and the more information you provide (i.e. examples, explanation, clarification, etc.) the better. You will not be judged for what you know and do not know. This assessment will be scored for effort and honesty. No names, just your student number. Please type your responses, and email your responses to your teacher. I would describe 21st century skills as skills having to do with the new technology thats around today. Before this class i did not know what a wiki was.I had no prior knowledge of wiki.
