Suggested edits to the teaching guide

Hello everyone,

You will see that I have made major changes to the Wiki page and that most of it has gone! (I know we can revive older versions, but I also have a copy of the original document on google drive as well). I think Cindy made a really good point about pairing down the teaching guide to just the essentials. I think a lot of the theory stuff can go elsewhere -- perhaps the "about" page??

From our last meeting, my vision for the teaching guide is as follows:

- section 1 states the purpose of the guide (this version is complete, feel free to comment) - section 2 is getting started and will list technical information about the Wiki and some links (I may need some help here) - section 3 will provide tips on how to teach with case studies using the information from the Carnegie Mellon web site as well as a few more articles I will look into. If we are going to keep the sample assignments, I think we should use sub-pages under this page. For each assignment sub-page I will explain the class and context of the assignment.

I took out the constructivist stuff for now, but I can also refer to it in the instructional tips section. I think it would also fit in nicely there.

I will continue to work on this throughout the week. Please feel free to comment and edit as you see fit. Thanks!
