Ripples and Splashes from a 21st Century Educator
Wow, now I know the rush a pyromaniac must feel when she strikes the match! Yesterday ten brave souls ventured into the world of wikis with me, and the wildfire has begun! I am so excited! One of our third grade teachers was so addicted to working on her new wiki last night, that her husband actually had to ask her if they were having supper! AND, she actually dreamed about wiki pages! Wow, an ITF’s dream! (Great story Lauren!) Then if that wasn’t great enough, one of our 5th grade teachers called me into her room where she was showing her kids her “just out of the oven” wiki! Their homework for the night included adding some information to the Social Studies page where they are beginning a study of the Civil War! (Way to go Mrs. V!) I couldn’t be more proud of our teachers here! I will happily post about their developing wikis (with links) after they have some time to populate them. They’ll be worth the wait, I can tell already!
