Group work and Wiki posting on Westinghouse. Westinghouse
Start with the following sites as you do your research:research:
Then put together an account of what you consider to be Westinghouse's most important contributions to the history of technology (at least two) with a description of each and your group's view of why they were important. Since Westinghouse was not primarily and inventor, but a corporate leader and innovator, you have to think about the intersection between business and technology in your posting.
Group 1 on Westinghouse
Group 2 on Westinghouse
Group 3 on Westinghouse
Do not copy copy directly from your sources but synthesize what you learn and write your own accounts. Put a citation after each item to those pages in Jonnes, websites, or other sources you used in putting together your entries. Each group member should should post his own contributions so I can keep track of who does what. The leader (or leaders) of the group, who is responsible for coordinating your work, should be someone who who made the fewest contributions in past wiki pages. Aside from that stipulation, the division of labor in your group is up to you but each entry to this page should include the names of those who did the writing and research. Also remember to put your group memebers' names at the top of the page. Organize and format your entries so the information is acessible and easy to read.
