 * The Eiffel Tower page was wonderful. The cost and the Wiki format is very nicely done
 * Nice touch to add the image and change the colors. Well done.
 * First – make this an education site so you don’t see the ads along with side. Go into Manage Wiki and Settings and on the bottom there is a link to make this a K12 Education wiki. You’ll get an email in about a day that the site has been upgraded. There is no charge and you get rid of the ads.

 *  I like the purpose of the site stated right up front.
 * I like the horizontal lines you added to your menu along the left hand side. This shows you did more than just use the standard menu the site automatically creates.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">I loved the 817 presentation. I've never been to France so I did not fare so well. :( I could not make it back to the page. My only option was to close out the window. Is that what you wanted to user to do?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">On http://traveltofrance.wikispaces.com/Guide+de+Projet#toc0 the table of contents showing doesn’t really do anything. If you fill in more info on the page, then maybe it will be useful.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">I think on the home page you should outline the actual steps of the assignment(s). You state that you should watch the presentation first, which I did, but now I am at a loss for what to do next.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">I am a little lost for the purpose of your web site. I know it is to help you plan a trip to France but is it to help teach American students going to France? Is it for French students to learn about taking a trip to France ? Are all my questions answered in French and because I do not speak French I am lost?
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">The embedded slideshow is good. I would have preferred the answers after each slide rather than at the end of the entire quiz, but this is more my need for immediate feedback. They way you have it does work.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">Maybe the site should stick with French or have both English and French. It gets confusing when a site switches from some pages or parts of pages in English and other pages in French. This page has some in English and other parts in French: http://traveltofrance.wikispaces.com/Les+Monuments
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">In the directions for students to post their travel plan, why not use multimedia and walk them through the process. You could easily record the screen actions using Jing from TechSmith (free at: [] ) This meets some more of the goals for this site – using a variety of media and modalities.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> Have you considered music native to France? What about newspapers [] or spoken audio [] The Read the Words site will read text in French with French accented voice. You can do a three translations for free.

=<span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;">My Thoughts = <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif;"> I really enjoyed having feedback. Sometimes things are obvious to me, when they are not for everyone else. We are tought to anticipate these types of things in our teaching so that students understand. Getting this type of feedback beforehand is great.

I think some of the confusion about what to do with this site comes from my intentions of using it in the classroom with my students. I don't think I want this site to do all of the teaching, and I plan on taking the students through the project step by step. This project is also pretty extensive and I honestly haven't had time to work everything out on paper and get it on the site. That will happen hopefully in the near future.

I really liked the idea of using jing to walk stduents through the steps of posting their assignments on the site. I will probably do this, specifically for the assignment in which students navigate the metro using Google Earth.

I did change the table of contents- as it wasn't really helpful to anything I was doing on the site.

As far as I know it costs $5/ month to remove adds from the page- I will be inquiring about this though.

All in all it was great to have input from my group members. I think we all want to do well and this has been very helpful.
