Back to HOME =WIKIS FOR TEACHERS= THE WIKI WAND - my wiki course about wikis The session I'm running on February 18th is only for one hour, so to get the most out of it, you have to do a little bit of homework.
 * PRE-SESSION HOMEWORK** (ONE, TWO, THREE)

Look at some other wikis to see what people do with them. [|NOTHINGNERDY] Steve Weatherell's wiki - Physics, Science, TOK and other school stuff. Oh, you're already here! Check the yellow links on the left. READINGISDESTINY is Marion van Engelen's Library wiki. MULDERSTUDIES is Rachel Mulder's teaching wiki. JSPIVEY by Jason Spivey, History teacher at Korea International School who has been using and promoting wikis for a long time. EDUCATIONAL WIKIS has a huge number to check out on this wiki about wikis.
