Thing 9: Play with Wiki's

Playing with a Wiki

"Sandbox" is the term that wikis often use to describe the area of the website that should be used for pure play. For this discovery and exploration exercise, we’ve set up a whole Learning 2.0 Favorites wiki* that’s for nothing but play!
Discovery Resources:
PB Wiki Tour - Find out how this collaborative tool can be used
PBWiki Video Gallery - Short videos of PBwiki features
Discovery Exercise:
For this “explore-and-play-with-wikis” exercise, you are asked to add an entry or two to the Technology Poppers Wiki Dr. Wilson's Classes are creating. The theme of this wiki is simply “Poppers”. Come up with an idea for using technology in the classroom that is not a giant integration technique but a small way you can use a little technology that can enhance motivation, interest, or achievement. You may be able to add an entry as a guest but if not you will have to create an account on this wiki site to click on edit and contribute. Put your first name next to your idea and if the idea is specific to a grade level then include it as well.


2. Create a post in your blog about the experience. Can you think of ways you could use a wiki either personally or professionally? Blog about this too.
