Wikis Visited (from list): http://westwood.wikispaces.com/ - This wiki was set up and managed by Vicki Davis, a teacher at the Westwood Schools. The purpose of this wiki is to allow academic resources and information to be shared within Westwood Schools. It provides current events, projects, tours, schedules, links, and even citation resources (MLA, etc.) for students! This wiki allows the schools to be well-informed on a number of issues. http://welkerswikinomics.wetpaint.com/ - This extensive (and impressive) wiki keeps students, teachers, and parents connected with an Economics teacher's classes. It has project guidelines, syllabi, and study guides. Students can post questions, see topic outlines and information and stay informed on a number of topics pertaining to Mr. Welker's high school classes. http://www.jabernethy.com/portfolio/ - A fifth grade class uses this wiki to learn and stay up-to-date on topics they learn in school. The teacher posts information and links so the students can better understand issues in the classroom. There are links on Challenge 24, holidays, and science projects. This is also a good way for parents to see what the children are learning. |
