Cool Web Tools
A few days ago I decided I needed to become "technologized" and signed up for this class to help me do so. So far it seems to be working. Everything is sinking in right now and seems so easy. Let's see if I will say that in a few days when Mrs. Cobb (our instructor) is not by my side walking me through this whole process. So hopefully I can keep up with this site and use it with my class next year. Web 2.0 tools are great to use!

Weeks later, I find that I have procrastinated horribly. I am sitting at my computer desparately trying to remember how to navigate my Wiki. I am so relieved that today's technology is so forgiving. I am comforted to know that I can not destroy the whole system by my lack of knowledge and frequent mistakes. Off I go to explore my Wiki and those of my classmates.

Okay, so now I have found that exploring this whole Wiki thing has not been as difficult as I had anticipated. It's actually been kind of fun to play around and explore this new Wiki. I can't wait to "Wiki it up" in the class with my new bunch this year. I'm looking forward to seeing what ideas they have about our Wiki and how we can really make it "our own."

Also, I have discovered a whole community of Wiki users who can help me and share ideas. I think this will be a great asset to my classroom. I can't wait to discover what other technology I can use to make my lessons more exciting for my students.

Question: What do you teach and how do you plan on using Wiki spaces in your classroom?

Mrs. Beadel please make sure that you include the library in the things that you do. I can help you set up your Wiki, provide materials both tech and print, if we work together then we can create a great learning experience for your students.
