I'm not sure what the tasks are for this week. Where can I find them?

All of the tasks for each week are on the wiki page. That's where the entire syllabus is. Look on the right hand side of this page, and you'll see a box titled "Sidebar." In that box, you'll see links to all of the pages for the wiki. Each week has it's own page. So, to see what you'll be doing in any week, just click on the link to go to that page.

I don't know how to watch our meetings. What should I do?

There are two webinars, both on Saturday. You can attend either webinar (meeting). The information, and link to our Elluminate room, where the webinar will take place, is on the wiki page for each week's syllabus. Here's the link for week 1:

There's also a tutorial walking you through how to enter the room so you can attend the meeting, on the wiki. There's a link to it on the wiki page for this week (above link) or you can see it on the wiki tutorials page, here: http://digitalstorytelling4kids.pbworks.com/w/page/49669587/Tutorials 

Watch the tutorial and then try to to to the room. If it works, great! If you still have problems, let us know and we'll have someone talk you through.
