Wiki+Links

Hi, here's a place to put links to any educational type wiki's or blogs we create... and jump into the discussion to talk about them.
Wikis and blogs provide us with a wonderful opportunity to reach outside of our class rooms. Using these vehicles we can truly see ourselves adding layers to our "guide on the side" roles by providing online directed teaching 24/7. We can add links, video, slideshows, word documents, pictures & photos which provide practical examples, explanations and instructions to support the particular learning intentions we're working on with our students. These are our first baby-steps in this environment. Let's think carefully about our use of these vehicles (as they develop) and examine the effects on learning within our community.

Here are some examples of effective Blogs and Wikis from elsewhere...

Really Awesome Teacher Stories (rats)
A place to share those "AHA" stories. We all love to hear those inspiring snapshot stories about moments of success and metacognition (and the other moments !) in our classrooms. Here's a place to tell them. C'mon, get some in there!

edresources
Somewhere for us to post links, review, recommend and discuss any online educational resources. Play around with this site and see what kind of format works best for us. We need recommendations for age level, possible use ideas -links to unit plans etc

[|****Jill Hammonds Ed Blog****]
Jill is our National Faciltator. We're one of her many clusters and fortunate to have Jill living nearby, as she supports clusters as farrrr away as the mysterious South Island. Jill sees a lot in her travels and her blog is worth a regular look to see what's happening in other clusters and read Jill's reflections. Be great if you could pop in and make some comments.
