Include your links to your wiki or blog and don't forget to let us know how you intent to use it.

http://cpepmiller.wikispaces.com/ --- Here we go!! I hope to someday, in the not so distant future, to be a teacher. At this point I don't even care what I teach!! I just want out of school and have the option to teach any grade. I think blogs can be great tools for teacher, but they are also a bit scary!! I'd like to think I could use a blog in my classroom for bettering the communication skills for the entire classroom. I love the idea of my students being able to get on my blog and catch up on something they might have missed. I would have loved to have had that option when I was in school!!

http://kquirk.wikispaces.com/: I want to teach High School history and possible use my wiki to create discussions involving current events articles and have students post their opinions and thoughts about the issue. Also, I could have students use my wiki to work on assignments by asking a question and having the students respond to it. This could help with students work on their computer and internet skills as well as speed being a pro to this kind of technology. History can often times involve a lot of reading and so students most likely don't want to read anything more out of a book, so by using a link or article to change the pace of history courses will make learning history more current. You could also add video content or slides.

http://brittanykeith.wikispaces.com/ I am an elem. education major and I would use my wiki to communicate with parents. I could post each week what the kids will be learning about. Also the parents can ask any questions that they have for me. This could also be done with a blog.

[|http://tailfire.blogspot.com] This is a blog that i created [] Is the wall I created I have not created any wikispaces yet. I would like to use a Wiki format to create a tech help site in my workplace. I think that it would be a great tool in the workplace. Let us know how it goes.

http://tailfire.wikispaces.com/ Here is where I created the wiki

http://johnbailey73.wikispaces.com/ Here is the one I created. Spend some time playing around with it and see what you can do to change the look. For instance, try using a logo or photo instead of the wikispaces logo. This goes for the rest of you as well.

missouri2011.wikispaces.com Here is the wiki I created. I had more ideas after creating this one and like the idea of creating a wiki about myself to present to students/parents as a getting to know me technic. Most people like to see about other people and by having a visual they may connect with me quicker, especially if it is fun. I like your idea of using it as a way to let the parents get to know you, it would also help future employers get to know you as well.

[] Since I love traveling, I wrote a blog describing my favorite place to vacation. I want to be a high school English teacher and I'm hoping that learning how to use a blog now will help me become comfortable with using blogs so in my classroom we can comment from home on different literature we read. This is a great way to get started with something you are using now. Keep it up.

http://bcoonts.wikispaces.com/ Here is my wikispace. Since I am working toward my certification in teaching of Secondary Education in History and Psychology. I think that I would use my wikispace in order to keep current events available for students to read and share their thoughts about how this is affecting history and their future. Another possibility is that I can use it for homework assignments, because if I check it periodically throughout the day and night I will be available to answer questions that students and their parents have. History can be a very boring subject, especially in high school to sit and learn but I think that be providing outlets, like wikis, I will be involving students and parents more in what I am trying to teach them, that History can be fun to learn and it does still affect us. [] This is the blog that I created. On here I plan on talking about my college experience. Since this is the second time I have been in school I hope that I can use it as an outlet especially for people that are thinking about returning or finishing up their degrees. I don't think that I will use it while I am teaching, but I might depending on how much I put on it. I am hoping that it will be helpful to other people that are my age that just can't deal with the college experience. We will see!! I posted a comment on your blog.

[] Finally my blog is started. I had a hard time deciding on just how and what I wanted to do. I feel like kids should always be challenged, also their parents. I feel like I could use this page to get the parents involved with helping the kids to learn. Even if is something as simple as a recipe for a new food. From a science point of view, how many different kinds of trees do you have in your yard. The possibilities i think could truely be endless.

The web game I would use if I was going to be a history teacher for middle school is [|www.shepphardsoftware.com]. It has interactive games such as US geography and it has differnt levels. I saw this web game used in one of the classes I am observing. The students had to go to US Geography - Level 2 - states intermediate. They had to play until they got a 100% and then they were able to go onto any other game of their choice. All of the 7th grade students were very involved in the game. They were detemined to get a 100%. No one stopped until the they reached their goal. Kristie Blakey
