Welcome to: What is CSL  A wiki page devoted to helping you learn about quality Service Learning.

The sessions will be self-paced and will consist of viewing various online resources regarding CSL and the standards of quality practice. While there are no "have to's" in this course, in order to get the most out the experience, I would suggest you reflect, comment and reply as often as possible. The hope is that after going through the sessions, you will have a good draft of a plan in place ready to initiate in your classroom.

Navigating around this wiki page is rather easy To get the most out of this PDP experience, it is best to follow the order of the pages as listed on the side bar of the main page.
 * At the top of the spiral page is a menu bar with the options. The only one you will need is the Discussion button which is the second one from the left and looks like a speech bubble.
 * On the side of the spiral and in the beige, is a listing of the pages I have set up for this session. Clicking on any of these titles brings you to that page. NOTE: You may have to click on the triangle next to All Pages to allow the full list of pages to appear.

Each page will have a short introduction and possibly a link to a few sites. Oftentimes I will ask you to comment on your thoughts after viewing the site. To comment:
 * Click on the **Speech bubble icon** at the top of that page
 * Then click on new Post
 * Type in a catchy title and add your comments in the box below

__Because this is a wiki page__- technically you can edit other people's comments - but let's be polite and only comment (or delete) in our own space!

But...You may also like to read other participants comments and reply if you want to offer ideas or advice. This will be extremely helpful as we begin to create our projects. Finally, if you have any questions about this course, feel free to email me at baldiga@medway.k12.ma.us

A note about this wiki site. I learned about this free site as part of an online Web 2.0 course. It is rather cool and has great possibilities for reflective practice for our classes and even CSL experiences. Drop me an email if you want to know more.
