Wikis Wikis!

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!
