I have just entered the world of WIKIS and I have no idea what I am doing. :) I really want to create a place where my students can share their thoughts and ideas and display their work. Is this the best place to do this?
My personal goals: I feel that I have met most of my personal goals for our PLC over the past month. I am still struggling with center ideas. I am open to ANY ideas. Mrs. Shawley and myself have really taken a liking to SKYPING with our classes. Our students are developing relationships virtually. I am hoping over the next month to come we will be able to take this to the next level and really make these experiences educational and meaningful to our students. :) I am becoming more familiar with the webcam and snowglobe, but I would really like to explore more avenues of using these in my classroom.
I have become a huge fan of the website Around the World with 80 Schools. I have met teachers from all over the world! It is so exciting. My only concern is that I am having trouble finding a focus or getting started with them. We never know exactly what to do with SKYPE or how to go about introducing our classes... etc. I want this process to be more natural and comfortable- rather than awkward. I would be open to any suggestions on how to put curriculum first and add technology later and make it all flow. I feel like I am thinking of really neat technology ideas, but they are not really fitting into the material I need to be teaching.
Still moving forward and ready to learn new things today at our PLC meeting. :)
