Class+Wiki

I created a Liberty Computer Class Wiki to use within my classroom. I wanted to see how I could use a wiki interactively with my students. During the month of October I showed my class how I created a glogster poster to add to our front page of our wiki. In November, I posted a discussion question and had students respond. I did have a little bit of trouble at first because I was unable to set up members with out email addresses. I figured out with the help of another staff member that I need to request an educational wiki. Once wikispaces emailed me with a response I was able to make our class wiki more interactive. I also created four different pages for different units I was teaching throughout the fall semester. The units were Internet Safety with the World Wide Web, Keyboarding and Computer Basic. I linked short videos from Commoncraft, powerpoints units and an interwrite lesson onto each page for students to view or we would view as a class during the unit. Now that I have experimented with wikis and wikispaces I am planning an inservice to introduce our staff to wikispaces and how to use them with their classes.
