21 Things for Students

You have been selected by your SSI Chief to begin Space Training Camp. Your secret community (school) needs special agents to travel into space in search of valid and credible worlds (website, blogs, wikis and databases). Before you can begin the actual space exploration, you are required to complete top secret training. By the end of this training exercise, you will be able to tell the difference between a website, blog, wiki and database. You will be required to write about the similarities and differences between these worlds. Your document need to be saved on your secret file space and will be shared with your SSI Chief.

Steps

Completing this Quest

Now that you have completed all training, you must prove you are ready to go onto the next level of training. You will do this by writing about what you know about websites, blogs, wikis and databases. Be sure to include all similarities and/ or differences.

In order to complete this quest, you must organize what you have learned about the similarities and differences between these worlds (blogs, wikis, databases and websites). This information can be typed in a word processing document. Your work will need to be saved to your secret file space.
