These are some ideas that came to mind when we were discussing projects; hopefully, these ideas can help expand your project, if need be!

1) Explain the significance/interest of each link you found of interest.  Think emergence: facts are secondary, discussion/conversation is primary.  Therefore, don't state the facts of the website that you found, but rather, your ideas considering the facts that you read from the website -- explore new ideas, etc.

2) Think of questions to lead to a discussion about your links and your overall interesting concept

3) Take constructive/emergent thoughts from today's group discussion to expand on numbers 1 & 2 (above); add to your questions and explanations, if need be.  Where there things you hadn't thought of before?  Did anyone say something that made you think different?  Was there something said that really agreed with your own personal interest?  Again, describe these in the website.

4) Look at your project idea from other viewpoints (kids, non-educators, parents, etc) and think/comment on it on your project website.  Would a child find this hard to understand?  How could you make your idea more applicable to a certain situation?  How could your interest be applied in certain settings?  Could your interest have implications on education for a certain group of people or perhaps all people?  How would your discussion points/questions differ according to different audiences?

5) Play devil's advocate --> can you find ideas that do not agree with what you found?  Think about possibilities, look online and comment on those in relation to your project.

6) Think outside the box.  Is there anything you found that was interesting that changed the way you thought about it?  Do you disagree with some of the links that you found?  Did you have any original ideas when you looked at these links?  Does your researched interest personally affect you or someone you know well?

Physical Roadblock (the actual "look" of the website)?

1) Draw what you envision on paper... and then decide how you can make that on the website using tables, pictures, links and bullet points.

2) Scroll around Serendip and find other people's websites to use as inspiration.
