Wikis are a great educational tool for digital collaboration, digital portfolios, curriculum writing and much more. So far, I have used or use wikis for teacher collaboration and student portfolios. Most recently, I started transferring the social studies curriculum that I am writing to a wiki. This is allowing me to compile each lesson with resources in one spot. I think this will make it user friendly for teachers.
Dianne Krause, my school district's technology integration specialist, has a few wikis that help me on a daily/weekly basis. Here is one on web 2.0. Another one is the e-toolbox. Here is another wiki developed by a teacher who teaches in the Philadelphia School District. He developed a project where a stuffed turtle named Morpheus Fortuna travels to different schools throughout the state (and maybe farther...not sure) and the classes journal his stay. He visited my school last year!

It seems like you are a wiki queen.
ReplyDeleteYou're lucky to have Dianne in your school district. She is very knowledgeable.

Once again, thanks for the valuable wikis you provided above! Many of my "favorites" now consist of resources I have found through you. Thanks Kate!
ReplyDelete* I looked through the wiki of the teacher in the Philadelphia School Distric. After exploring the wiki, I found a section describing resources for my grade level (5th). I am very eager to look more in depth in the resources!
