Thing 9 - Wikis

The Cool Cat Teacher is an amazing compilation of wiki, blogs, video, etc., all in the name of teaching. The author has taken all of the best of technology and incorporated it all into one site. From what I gather from her postings, her students really are engaged and the assessment pieces she uses get into authentic learning.

Library Success demonstrates lot of great ways to use wikis and other technology applications. It creates a new niche for libraries - gathering information from library users (instead of just providing information for users).

Wikispaces for Educators has a free place for educators to set up a wiki account. This is a great way to collaborate with students and with other educators.

I would like to experiment with creating and using a wiki. I think it would be a good place for educators to review, edit, and discuss curriculum documents that are in review.
