Wikispaces

I'm having trouble thinking of things to say about the wiki tutorials in my blog. Specific ideas? - Megan media type="youtube" key="tH5wrfNaHJ8" height="315" width="420" What I like to do, and I hope it helps you out, is go to You Tube and watch some of the videos from there. Take little tidbits from each video that interests you, that you have used, or that you think you would use in the future. Try not to focus so much on the exact tutorial, but rather on what information you are getting out of the tutorial. This video talks about one aspect of wiki that may help you or others understand how wiki spaces work. I hope this helps. Kate

I do the same thing...well I have learned to do the same thing, Kate. I am not really sure what we are supposed to be doing with this Wiki project though. Is it just for us to share and explore eachother's ideas and thoughts. It is a way for us to collaborate with one another. I am not 100% sure as to what we are being evaluated on for this Wiki project. -Krysta

Krysta, I have posted my understanding of what this wiki space should be about on the home page. I could be off base on it but this is my understanding of what we should be doing. We are evaluated on how much (not that there is an exact amount) and what inforamtion (under the premise to information and help each other) we add to the space. I hope this helps and I welcome any addition to my understanding. Kate

Thank you, Kate! Do you know how we are supposed to fill in the evaluation form for Thursday's class? Do we really have to write in every little thing that we put into the wiki? I'm not 100% sure what specifically she wants us to fill in on the evaluation. We put our names on all things that we have said, so I feel like that is good enough. Is the rubric below what we are supposed to fill in???

I am with Krysta. I am not sure of what we are being evaluated on, but I am finding this wiki helpful. Thanks for putting up the rubric as a reminder!-Sara

Here is the rubric for our class wiki page. We are being graded as a group as well as our individual participation. You can access this information on our [|class note] page which is located on the left hand site of the page - assignments - on-line collaboration. Here is the rubric for our collaborative Wiki space.... //kate//



Did anyone find out if we need to list everything we have done for this Wiki or what should we include???? In case anyone would like to see a Wiki my class is working on with 3 other classes in CT...click here....[|Mrs. Klock's MAPPs Wiki] We will continue to add to it after each meeting. ~Michelle

Michelle, on the assessment form in the GoogleDoc where the Wiki is listed, there is a section for reflections and we need to list how we contributed to this project as well as some other questions to reflect on.- Rosanne

After witnessing how well Michelle's class and my class work together, we were talking today about using a wiki for the studentswin our classes to reflect with one another about what they have been reading in the book, charlottes web. Both of our classes are reading the book and we thought how cool would it be tohave them use the wiki to collaboratively reflect, ask questions, make connections, and jot down thoughts and ideas about what theyagave been reading. It would also give them time to reflect on diffething events that happenthroughout the book. -krysta

I think a virtual lit circle is a great idea! Especially with different grade levels! The younger students will learn from the older students, obviously, but what's really cool is that the older students will probably engage in some mega metacognition. They will probably want to model some great stuff! - Megan

Although we have decided not toconduct a wiki between the 2 of our classes, I was thinking of still trying one out with my class. I figure I could have them all take part in the wiki as a reflection about their reading of Charlotte's Web. I thought that this woulalso be a great way to differentiathe between the different learners in my classroom. I feel that the students sometimes areworried about talking about their reading and saying the wrongthings. This would help them understandthe different ways to work collaboratively through the use of technology. - krysta
