Historically, the group has used emails to plan the trip, but this means there are literally hundreds of emails – some with key information, some with comments about this information, but many others that are simply friends socializing. It’s overwhelming to simply keep them all, let alone find the one which has the information you are looking for when it comes to making decisions. I can’t tell you how often we re-send information because someone can’t find it. This year, one of our group changed jobs (changing her email address) and lost all the information we had shared. This class got me thinking that there had to be a better way to house the information so it is easier to store the information and more easily find exactly what you are looking for.
The web site is a private site, so you won't be able to open it up and use it, but I've included a picture of it (below). Anyone can see our wiki, so feel free to take a look if you are interested.

What a great idea! Your homepage looks so professional! I hope this works well for you all and is easier than email everything back and forth. How are the other members of your group working with the new technology? Any frustrations or positives? I wish you well with this-definitely a useful Final Project!
Very impressive. I created a wiki for the first time so I am always curious to see how others have created their's.
I liked how you gave the simple instructions on how to work within the site.
Carol,
Fun site...looks like your group should arrive at the destination with less frustration from lost information! I was just wondering about your photos page....can everyone from your group upload pictures? I want to do something like this and have been wondering how to do it...any insight you can give me could be appreciated.
