Room With A View

For those that attended the What’s Up with Wikis Session yesterday, I’ve posted some useful links on-line. The first is a page on the ISB Tech Pioneers Wiki. It contains some notes on wikis that were put together after a session we had on the subject. On my wikispaces wiki I’ve started a list of ISB classes using wikis. It’s a good place to look for ideas and inspiration.

Yesterday we just scratched the surface of what can be done with wikis. You will have questions. Feel free to corner me in the hall, e-mail your questions, or post your questions here.  Ask away.

The Asian Studies Teachers at ISB have put together a very comprehensive wiki for their students. It’s impressive. [Link]

If you’re attending my What’s Up With Wikis session today, you’ll find links and notes at the ISB Tech Pioneers wiki.

A colleague and I have started a new group at school. We’ve created a PD group of teachers who are interested in exploring ways that technology can help us teach better. We meet once a month for a face-to-face meeting. Between meetings we’re using a wiki to keep the conversation going. We had our first meeting last Thursday. We had a great turnout and a really diverse group. I’m pumped!

Our first task was to read and discuss Marc Prensky’s article on Digital Natives and Digital Immigrants. The discussion is just getting going but it can be found here.
