	*Sarah - This was one of those projects that I feel really helps me with my other classes. I never would have set out to learn how to create a wiki on my own, but having done it now I see many applications to use it again in the future. What I particularly like about our project is that it can function as a real wiki and be incredibly useful as an alternative to the user manual.		*Sarah - This was one of those projects that I feel really helps me with my other classes.

		+	*Jon - While I did learn how to operate the Delorme GPS unit and got to understand how useful GPS can be, both for recreational and business purposes, I found that what I learned more about was how to use a wiki. I learned how to move pictures around, insert hyperlinks, and format articles. This is something i would not have learned on my own and it seems as though this may be a very useful skill in the future.
