Extras Cool School Wikis and Blogs <a href=" Live Blog Stats</a> Wiki Blog rules for kids Edit 0 12 … We talk to our students about class rules and computer rules, we also need to have 'Online Rules' Our wiki/blog is an extension of our Classroom space. Never EVER give out or record personal information on your wiki/blog.

Your blog is a public space. Never link to something you haven’t read. Take good care of our computers by not downloading or installing any software without permission, and not clicking on ads or competitions. This is an example of a 'Wiki Promise' I designed for a class of Year 6 students this year. Students were also invited to offer more 'promises' as they thought of them.

I like tools that lend to collaboration.

Doug's PD Wiki / Pearltrees

I like graphic organizers. I like things that run over the web and work nicely in your browser. I think that’s why I immediately liked Pearltrees. From a central node (or as is called here “pearl”), you connect other pearls. These other pearls are web resources that connect to the central pearl. The result is a perfectly symmetrical graphic document. And the logic could go on and on and on! But, it gets better. And this better include some serious collaboration. The process is called teaming up. Creating a pearltree, adding pearls, and inviting others to help out is very easy. 1to1unconference - home. Wiki Walk-Through: The Basics.

Wiki Walk-Through: The Basics

Roll over the questions at left to unravel the wonderful world of wikis. I know the basics. Take me to some ideas for how to use a wiki in my teaching. What's a wiki? A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant: you can create or edit the actual site contents without any special technical knowledge or tools. Who uses wikis?

Wikis are used in the “real world” (outside of K-12 schools) by people collaborating on projects or trying to share things online, such as family information and photos, technical information from users of a product, data from a research and development project, wine expertise, travel journals from abroad, club or specialty information, or projects like collaborative cookbooks. Sometimes they are used for free expression, such as a youth group online graffiti space. What is the difference between a wiki and a blog? A wiki has a far more open structure and allows others to change what one person has written. How we use wikis in class - Wikis in Education. Learning About Web 2.0 – 23 Things for K-12 Educators. Shelley Paul’s journey with wikis began two years ago, after reading a book about implementing different Web 2.0 tools in the classroom.

Learning About Web 2.0 – 23 Things for K-12 Educators

She researched various open-source wiki platforms, but decided they presented too much of a learning curve for most of her teachers. Knowing that she had many more wikis in her future, she began looking for a suitable alternative. Shelley stumbled upon Wikispaces’ offer to give away free wikis to educators. That, along with the ease of the service, set her wiki path. As Shelley became more involved in the Web 2.0 world, she came across Helene Blowers’ Learning 2.0 – 23 Things program for public librarians – a list of 23 things librarians can do on the web to familiarize themselves with the Internet and Web 2.0 – and decided to adopt the model for K-12 teachers. Shelley has also helped her colleagues at Woodward Academy become involved in the Web 2.0 world. Hccwikihelp - home. Wikispaces.

RoxannNys / 21st Century Learners vs 20th Century Teachers

For instance, one of the most common responses from readers was that 21st-century educators must be lifelong learners … and should be willing to learn not only from their peers, but from their students as well. According to readers, an effective 21st-century educator…"
