Future+Wiki+Plans

Partially-developed ideas for this year in the world of wikispaces....

STUDY GUIDES WIKI Have students create an online study guide for each major topic in their course. The only thing that would be on the page to start would be the topic title. It would be up to the students to organize information and change information as they see fit. Problem? Not sure how to grade this! (Or do I even need to??)

MATH VOCAB WIKI Assign each student a word to define and add to the wiki. Other students could correct typos and other errors.

K-W-L CHART WIKI I think it would be interesting to have students list things they already know (K) about a topic before we start it, what they want to know (W) either before we start and/or continuing into the topic, and what they learned (L) after the topic has been discussed.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT WIKI Charles Mowery and I started a wiki devoted to student projects that use technology. It would be neat to develop it more and get more people involved.

DISCUSSIONS AMONG COLLEAGUES If others are willing to contribute regularly, I would create a wikispace devoted to educational discussions among colleagues. Using a wiki this way is a fairly easy way for those not familiar with the wikispace environement to learn about it while using it. The School Improvement Team experimented with this over the summer while collaborating to write a School Improvement Grant.
