- If you’re wondering what a wiki is, this may not be the session for you. I hope to provide those that have already created a wiki site or those that are considering creating one with a picture of the potential of such a tool as Wikispaces (or other). If you’re new to wikis, I hope to direct your thinking toward an open horizon. Wikis are much more than a fluffy buzzword expected to die off.

- Wikis can do it all. They can be the static teacher home page that exists to welcome students and parents and to perhaps disseminate digital content, or they can be the dynamic, multi-collaborator site where students all contribute and change content daily. If this is the case, that means your purpose falls somewhere in the middle. The question becomes, what is your purpose. What do you want your wiki/web presence to do? What will be its function? Variables exist: Audience Accessibility Once the function has been determined - and understand that function can change over time - then planning can begin. Designing your wiki is more important than many organizers realize, especially if you seek to have others collaborate with you.
- List increases in intensity and involvement.
- Templates are an easy way for students to make a wiki project a reality without stepping on students’ toes. Consider it an interactive worksheet/handout/assignment sheet. Viewing the 6th hour page show: the blank template Chris and Susan Jasmine and Marissa
- Identify that this satisfies a much-needed gap in every classroom. When asked about the events from the preceding day, it is exhilarating to respond, “Check the calendar”; partly because you have no idea what you did yesterday. The creation of this calendar required a significant amount of time. Setting up the month tables with my numerical images that linked to non-existent pages was cumbersome at first, but now requires no maintenance. The trick is in unique names so that next year’s March 11 does not show content for today. Updating in-between school years takes a bit - but not nearly the intensity of the first.
- Create an instructional platform that is directly linked to content expectations Place instructional content on expectation pages Have students create expectation pages Instruction and assessment on the same page Copy and paste the GLCEs or HSCEs into a the wiki page and make the numerical annotation a link to its own page. Then be creative about what to do with that page.
- Student portfolios are Make a template that starts from the Curriculum Page. Make every expectation a new row.
- Wikis are websites that demand participation. Compare to a teacher creating a website - employing time, effort, and resources (sometimes monetary) - that is never visited. Blogs have a similar goal/function/value. However, wiki involvement is so much more advanced.
