Spring 2012 http://austinadams.wikispaces.com/ Wikis can be used in the classroom to make a more collaborative and interactive learning experience for the students. Putting course objectives and assignment expectations can assist students when completing schoolwork at home. Putting additional material in the wiki, especially interactive aids, can allow students who may not understand when reading the book to learn more visually. Students can aid each other with research by posting links to viable information, and editing the notes of others in order to keep information as accurate as possible. Allowing students to do assignments in the wiki creates an organized way to keep track of who has completed their work. [] Here is the blog that I created. My intended use for it is to get a passing grade in this class. Frankly, I do not even know where to begin with one of these. I guess I would use it to keep my students, and their parents, up to date on assignments, and what is going on in the class.

http://kwelsh6.wikispaces.com I made this wiki for my Church kids, to let their family know what they are learning and upcomming announcements.

[] Considering I am going to school to become a High School teacher. I would figure that a blog explaining about my class would be a grerat idea. It would keep assignments up to date. Make it so that no one is left behind if they miss a day.- Cheryl Jackson [] This is the blog I found--- Cheryl Jackson- http://trcs.wikispaces.com/home This is the wiki I found. Cheryl Jackson

[] Collabrotive participation with class for open discussion forum. This is a great way for open discussion from the entire class. Specifically helpful for student intimidated with speaking in class.

Blog posted above I think wikis and blogs are very useful tools. Once you get past the mechanics of structuring it has benefits. Reflection time is available independently as well as a group. Quiet students who avoid group discussion now have input. Their is a variety of resources brought to the educational table that keeps class involved. It does leave room for bullying, but causes the teacher to stay alert with the forum.

http://cookkindergarten.wikispaces.com/A+Typical+Kindergarten+Day- Julie Snelson This is the wiki I found that is from a kindergarten teacher shows the schedules of their students and what they might do throughout the day.

[] -Julie Snelson This is a blog that I found that is from a kindergarten teacher who puts blogs on there quite often and asks for feedback from parents on schedules and various things that she is doing, as well as poems that the children in her class are doing and ideas for holidays.

http://shawnasclass.wikispaces.com/ Shawna Clevenhagen - I want to teach First or Second Grade. With this wiki parents can see what is going on in the classroom. Students can show their parents projects they are working on, and this can keep the communication open with the parents.

[] Kimberly Stofer - I want to teach high school social studies. With this blog I can post about current assigment, as well as future assignments, for my students. Students can comment on the blog and discuss the assigments. My blog could also describe what my classes will be about so students and parents will have an idea of what they will be learning.

[] Julie Snelson- I made this blog for our class that we are in (which I'm not sure if it was for the class or for like a pretend blog for the future when I'm actually a teacher) But I made it so that we can all get on it and put our comments and help out other students who might be struggling.

[] Amber Williams- I am not sure what kind of blog you wanted us to create but I am making a blog about being a dairy farmer and want to put educational facts into it. I could use this in the future as a science and or math lessons for my elementary class. Putting alot of hands on activities to bring to the class room setting.

Amber, this is a great idea, but you have made it private so I can't view it unless you invite me. You can either share it with me or make it public (you will have to look at your permission preferences). - Mrs. Carl

[] April Nash - I made this blog for any mother or educator who has questions on their teaching methods and would like advice from other mothers and educators. I intend to use this blog in the future as an educator when I have a question about my teaching methods or would like to help others with theirs.

http://amycollins.wikispaces.com/ Amy collins I made this wiki to post homework assignments and announcements for my class. It says that your wiki is not found, I am not sure if you didn't save it or what happened, but you will have to do it again.

[] If I had a fourth grade class I would use a blog to help the kids write articles about what they are doing in class. This would be viewable by the parents so they are informed by the process and education being taught to their children.

http://jolleblonde.wikispaces.com/ Misty Johnson -This is my wiki.......more details inside. [] Misty Johnson -This is also a blog I created many years ago.

Chad Dougherty My plan for this wiki is to be able to share with my students the information that was given in class. It would include links to references for my lesson. It would also include a page that would be interactive with the students. http://tcd10011.wikispaces.com/
