After 3 days of ranting and raving(uploading/downloading nightmare)...just ask my husband...I have something to smile about. I have fallen in love with my wiki!!
I chose to start one on PBworks. There are some things that I am not happy with, not enough pizzaz but I don't want to pay yet. I enjoyed getting the pages set up and even got projects and a lab posted. My wiki name is nothing special but maybe the kids can help come up with a better one.
I selected PBworks because of my PLN- Classroom 2.0 discussion on the best wiki site. I also decided after "talking" with Tom that I would only use one wiki per class and divide the class up. There might be a way to link wiki's togther but I think I may only start with one class. I am using my voicethread as an assignment and I plan on making at least 4 of these this year. I totally think these are cool! My goal is really to have the students begin to make them.
The last project I need to do it the class blog. These are always fun to put together and I would like to have the instructions for a glogster project for the virus unit.
We are on the road again tomorrow for the Dublin Irish Festival in Dublin Ohio. The second largest in the country. It is amazing. We are working the festival with a friend who has a food stand. It will be a working vacation.
Funny thing while I was at the family reunion...I was updating my twitter and blog pages and my neice Mikayla, 9yrs old, asked if she could follow me. She had her own twitter already!! It is a great way for her and I to stay in touch. I showed her the picnik site and by the next day she had registered and done some work on family photos. Anything I learn now she wants to know about it. Only 9 and totally into web 2.0!
