Week 7: Exercise 17, Learning 2.0 SandBox wiki

I placed my avatar with some text in the Sandbox portion of the California Curriculum Connections wiki. It wasn't too difficult to do.

I visited the California Curriculum Connections wiki and looked through all of the activities that had been posted in each area. What a great resource! There are some good curriculum activities posted. Once again, there is a need to get some of these Web 2.0 tools unblocked in our district. To ask students to use these tools at home when some students do not have access to a computer would be unfair and we would be adding to the digital divide. These activities have sparked some needed conversations with our Asst. Supt. of Curriculum & Instruction and our Tech Dept.

I am beginning to see the value of wikis and how they can be used with student groups in library projects.

We are delighted to hear that these activities have sparked conversations at the district level! Hope your school becomes a "2.0 Partner" if you are not already.

Best wishes.

I hope the wiki will be an ongoing source of ideas that we can all use to help our students and staff.
