The class will work in groups and each group is going to make one page (that will show up in the navigation bar on the left) adding to this Class 601 Wiki. The content of of the page is as follows. Please refer to Project #3 Wiki Part I for guidelines: 1) A one-sentence definition (understanding/perspectives/beliefs/opinions are also fine) on Web 2.0 by each group member (What do YOU think Web 2.0 is?). Margie: I think Web 2.0 is a way for people all over the world to put their great ideas together in one spot. Chelsea: Web 2.0 is a way to connect people from all over the world through their interests and ideas in an interactive way. Josh: I think that Web 2.0 is a way for people to share educational information, and keep in touch with one another. 2) One superb example of educational uses of these new tools on Web 2.0 in K-12 setting. You will work as a team, search internet, find and view a lot of class wikis created by others for their elementary and middles school classes, and then choose one that your group think is the best. You need to identify the content area (social studies, science, math, language arts...) and the grade level of the wiki you find. You also need to include a short paragraph describing why your group thinks this is a "superb" example. http://haultain-math.wikispaces.com/

6th grade math

It has a helpful dictionary that when you click on the words provides the definition and example. It is highly interactive and colorful. There are games to refresh past skills, and to practice new skills. There are videos incase you get home and don't remember how to do your homework and a blog to discuss problems. It will keep students interested in the subject of math which is something that is not always that easy to do. Not only will it keep them interested in math but it will challenge them.

3) A collection of resources - a minimum of 3 links (it can also be articles, resources about wiki) - on educational use of wikis, that you can use in your own teaching later. http://teaching-with-technology.wikispaces.com/Wikis+in+Education
