Questions and Wikis

We spent today going over our potential questions for the bird study project. We talked about which questions make for good studies and how we might set them up. We looked at some older projects and decided that it is okay to replicate a study that has already been done or how to do it with some modifications. Here is last year's wiki: http://cfsbirds-2011.wikispaces.com/
We got most of the students logged in and onto the new wiki page. As soon as they develop their questions they can post them on their wikipage. Check it out at: http://cfsbirds-2012.wikispaces.com/
We also looked at some of the data on the Cornell Ornithology Lab's ebird page. This is a great resource for bird sighting data going back many years. If people are interested, they can register and submit their own sightings. Here is that web address: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/
