Name PBwork Address How have you used your Classroom Wiki?  What was the result?

 

Grade Level/Age
Alejandro Marco http://wikiespa1.pbworks.com/w/page/35820106/Welcome-Bienvenidos This wiki is conceived as a collaborative site where students can learn English through multimedia lessons on different topics, including video, slides, interactive quizzes...
Avatars provided by Voki are used in different ways. For example, to introduce tasks and activities, to create reading texts with audio (text to speech tool) or to practise pronunciation (voice recording tool).
Another way of making students speak English is by using voice forums.
Each student has a personal page where he/she can publish their products, as a sort of e-portfolio.

This wiki is designed for readers of all ages.  It was my first wiki and is my home base reading site for all seasonal connections.  There are MS pathways for 24/7 beyond the classroom investigations.

 

This wiki is designed for our K-8 Library.  Not only are there book connections, you will find library skills, teacher resources, parent links, and Librarian connections to state and national sites.  Explore and enjoy your investigations.

Readers/Writers of all ages.

I am a grade 2 teacher in a classroom where many students had very little experience with computers. I developed this Grade 2 classroom wiki to feature student work (electronic portfolios), develop resources for young students, store sites for students and professionals,  and just have fun figuring out how to use voki, slideshow, wordle etc.  It has been an amazing experience!  I can't believe how much I have learned and how much my 7 and 8 year old students have learned. This is a space that is constantly developing and changing! 

NEW!!!   Feb. 2011 -Join me as an observer or participant!  

 Transformation:  Some books change the way we think! Your chance to join 7 & 8 year olds as they:

  • learn about the influence resilience has on friendship
  • experience a deeper understanding of "opening the door" to new friendships
  • begin to understand that some books change the we think:  teaching "synethsis" and "big idea"
  • learn the relationship between "summarizing" and "synthesis"
I will be posting background information (resilience, transformation of thinking, summarizing), teaching strategies, BLM, and examples of student work as we use this amazing story of an unexpected friendship to teach reading strategies, the importance of resilience and friendship. Join in as an observer or a participant.

Cláudia Simões Mariano  

http://linguaportuguesa2010.pbworks.com This wiki demonstrated that the new teaching practices related to ICTs can expand the spaces and times of learning. Students no longer need to be within the walls of the school or the class schedule to build knowledge and at the same time, just having a lot of information available to students is not enough, you must turn the volume of information into knowledge . Therefore, the construction of concepts and attitudes is shaped like an old challenge, both before and chalk or videos, computers and Internet. So the use of technology is associated with pedagogical proposals that go beyond the technologies employed. The proposal must be focused on training individuals to develop their potential from the use and experimentation in space and time of learning and that space and time beyond the walls of the classroom and reach a worldwide network of computers all its possibilities. The network platform here fulfill its function of promoting greater collective knowledge construction.

Pb wikis have changed my concept of chemistry laboratory reports from a single student paper report - single review by the teacher, to a continuous, interactive and collaborative reviewing. So the single shot assignment has moved to both a continue learning process and a portfolio.

I use pbwiki as a way to keep students and parents informed.  Lecture notes/presentations and homework assignments  for my classes are posted for the benifit of my students.  Also, I have included project guidelines and exmples of student work.  Students who are working on group projects are required to collaborate with other members of their group on the wiki.  My favorite way to use wikis is to set up "discussion boards" for students to post their ideas about a topic we are discussing in class.  It is a great way to give every student a voice.

 

The technology wiki is a site providing resources for staff who are interested in integrating technology.  While still under construction, tips, ideas, tutorials are available for those who want to learn how to use technology in  meaningful way.  I would love any suggestions!

 

Also - pbwikis are great for extracurricular activities.  I have set one up for our Key Club at www.bgkeyclub.com.  Students can view a calendar of events and sign up on the wiki for volunteer hours.  At www.bgrap.pbwiki.com - a student reading club, students can post thier reviews of books they have been reading.

I like to use the wiki to post static information and as a supplement to our classroom blog. I am especially please with the easy of introducing students to writers in the community. When we get to our Lord of the Flies unit, I create group assignments and each is responsible for editing their own page on the wiki.

http://thefedpageblog.pbwiki.com

I love pbwiki. I learned about it at a Summer workshop at our A site
and use it DAILY to post weekly assignments, announcements, handouts, react and reflect, ask questions, awesome websites etc. I expect my students and their parents to check homework on-line if they are absent. The bottom of my page also has a blog link, and I do monthly blog assignments for each of my 9th and 10th grade English classes. So far the only problem I encountered was that one student accidentally deleted all the blogs prior to hers because they all use the same password, but I was able to retrieve them. Also about 10% of my students do not have access at home, and so the assignments are difficult for them to find time to do in study hall. My daughter is also a teacher, so I explained to her how to set one up, and she uses it for the same reasons other than the blog. Since this is my first year using this, suggestions are welcome:-) I plan to ask my principal about doing a quick in-service next August and encourage more of our teachers to set one up.

Here in the UK lots of staff development sessions in what we call Further Education Colleges are using a webtools site that I developed a year or so back. Rather than just having a 'catalogue' I used a pbwiki to provide a way for practitioners to comment on how they found a particular application and, hopefully, in time, provide examples of good practice.

Am I allowed two goes here?! Since 1998 I have been sharing notes and things on-line with staff and students but the simplicity of doing so with pbwiki has made the job so much more fun than it used to be, and people can feedback and add their own pages. What particularly impressed, well amazed me actually, was how I could copy and paste complete chunks of web pages straight in to pbwiki and, with a bit of tweaking, they were ready to go! There's now a studyzone2 which is about to be launched for distance learning tutors for canine and feline behaviour degree modules. Some of these individuals are well known tv personalities in the UK, with superb pet behaviour knowledge but little by way of IT skill! So pbwiki was my first choice for such a public challenge! OK, I'll shut up now. Just love the application and greatly appreciative of the free, no-ads, availability. K-12

Our site was started as a way to share information about Arts Ed projects in the division and as a place to highlight resources and PD.  However, the best project for us was when I set up the wiki as an online collaboration between teachers and guest artists. They live long distances apart and would not be able to meet until the day of the activity and so the wiki allowed them to plan together and to build a relationship prior to the class visit. It also gave us a way to exhibit the work and journal the process. I'm using it as the basis for some Action Research in my graduate studies as well. People were hesitant about new technology, but were pleasantly surprised to find it so easy to edit. Once they understood the purpose they bought into using it and ejoyed it.

http://whatelse.pbwiki.com   Grades 5-8 Class wiki

 

Kids love to work on wikis.  I've finally started to figure it out:

 

Start Page:

I have homepage (http://write.nsdeagles.org) that lists current lessons for each class with links to lessons and resources for parents and students -- students begin and end their computer period on this page.  Students draft according to abilities: if able to keyboard well, students draft on the wiki; if not, written work needs to be ready to type before accessing the computer.

 

Safety: I don't use student names; students create code names (pseudonyms) from their first/last names, and all students sign a contract before participating.  Parents sign a release form at the beginning of the school year.

I teach high school freshmen, and we are using our wikis for a variety of purposes.  The "cougarpride" wiki is for our team to share news and happenings with students and their families.  From there, students can select the appropriate teacher.  On mine, "mrsangelacunningham", students can access assignments--including PowerPoints and worksheets--and add entries to our online encyclopedia--the "cougarpedia".  The "bcsocialstudies" wiki allows my department to collaborate online.  Wikis have genuinely changed how I teach.  K-12
Anne Gruettner http://amaestra.pbworks.com I have created my wiki to be a one-stop technology resource for my HS Spanish students and Spanish teacher colleagues. All tech-related class activities have pages with downloadable instructions, project due dates, and if possible I post student work as well. I also have class and student club information, a vocabulary word wall, embedded videos, a student and teacher Internet resource guide, and wiki etiquette in Spanish. 9-12 
Gerri Roth http://mcmonagleel.pbwiki.com I am the technology teacher in our school and use McMonagle El. wiki for a variety of reasons. I started out using it as a place to bookmark sites I wanted my students to see. Then I added a "Brag" page to show off student work. Then came the teacher page with links to educational sites. I even convinced several teachers to add their own wiki pages. A parent page has been added to allow parents quick access to sites they need. I find a wiki is much easier and quicker to update than our school's website. K-12

My students (a group of 14 year olds) and I use pbwiki to run a cross-cultural project called 'Global Village'. For the last 5 months we have been collecting various data and facts about different countries around the globe. We see ourselves as virtual inhabitants of the 'Global Village'  and aim to share our knowledge about the countries we have been exploring both internally (among us) and externally with interested parties. Simultaneously we hope to change our own attitude and stereotypical thinking. I have offered my students to encorporate other free web applications into the project , like Gliffy, Pageflakes and Slide and in my opinion it added a new value (+fun). I am proud to mention that our pbwiki project has been nominated for BMW Award in Intercultural Learning, and though we haven't taken the  prize we are still happy to be noticed and children are very motivated to continue with their work. We are now establishing contacts with the shools from the countries we have been exploring and I hope that 'Global Village' will attract even more attention.

DEAR PBWIKI TEAM, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR GIVING US SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY.

 paul shircliff  http://buckeyeperiodictable.pbwiki.com/  Last year I set up this wiki for my students to create their own wikis about an element from the periodic table.  They had partners who were not in the same classroom, so they had difficulty learning how to communicate with each other on a what needed done (even though I suggested creating a "ToDo" page and "talking" to each other that way ; some did)

(I also gave a tech talk on wikis at my school; my notes for that are archived here.)

 I use this site to help keep track of recommendations from college counselors all over the US; sometimes what a student is looking for (e.g. colleges with kosher kitchens or  more flexible curricula) isn't always available via existing databases.  Only a few other folks have helped contribute to date, but I'm happy to let editorial site engagement grow slowly as more people start to "grok" the power and possibilities of wikis.  K-12

http://plctools.pbwiki.com

 I've started using PB Wikis as a primary tool for working with colleagues.  The first wiki listed here is a collaborative project that the teachers of my language arts and social studies team are working on.  We post daily current events that are connected to our curriculum and reading skills questions that can be used to monitor student understanding.

 

The second is a warehouse of materials that a colleague and I are putting together to raise awareness of professional learning communities and to share the materials that we create when working with our own learning teams.

 

Wikis are the perfect tool for this because they are asynchronous---we can work from anywhere at any time.  That removes one of the biggest collaborative barriers in schools.

 Jeannie Krambeer  http://school-is-cool.pbwiki.com/  I love using a wiki as an interactive site with students.  It is so much easier than inputting information into our school web system and waiting for our tech people to find time to update with everything else they have to do.  It is great for students to have access to information at home as well.  K-12
Leigh Howell http://mhshowellclasses.pbwiki.com/

We are using wikis to in each of my high school classes in different ways.  In my IT class students document how to create a personal workstation utilizing open source software.  In my leadership class we are working in as editorial teams to write our own textbook.

 

Knowing that the work they post may be read by the world, and not just me, their teacher, keeps my students engaged and motivated.

I teach a class called Leadership in the Digital Age for the administrator program at the University of Denver and have used this wiki to introduce current and future school administrators to numerous Web 2.0 applications.  I use the wiki to structure our work around the National Education Technology Standards for Administrators and Teachers (NETS-A, NETS-T) and participants in the class are usually getting their first "hands-on" experience with using and contributing to a wiki.

I have also used this wiki to support numerous staff development workshops I do with educators in the US and Australia.  I am now beginning to create wikis as "support" sites for presentations and workshops I am doing for educators and to support work related to creating new graduation standards in Colorado. Here are a couple examples.

 John Martin http://edventures.pbwiki.com/CE5560-Elements+of+the+Web

 One of my biggest frustrations with many Learning Management Systems (LMS) such as Blackboard is the proprietary and restrictive nature of the environment. In my work with our College of Graduate Studies, I recommend the use of social software such as social bookmarking and PBwiki so that our graduates have access to these resources long after their course has ended. It is my ultimate hope that many of these graduates will continue to not only use the resources they've created themselves, but to continue to contribute back to their growing community of practice.

 

In my class wiki, my students will be developing projects which focus on assessing new technologies, developing policies and guides to implementation.

http://bio312lab.pbwiki.com/

 I'm teaching Microbiology at a college that is striving to move towards a more student driven learning module, with collaborative projects. They would like the faculty to become more of a facillitator than just lecturer. I'm taking the summer semester to try and implement a few of these new standards using PBwiki to encourage students to summarize each lecture, list things that were confusing, and work collaboratively on case studies and disease outbreak scenarios. I've just got a few pages up and I'm asking other faculty members to comment and add to it before it is deployed. I already make heavy use of Blackboard for one way communication with students- lecture notes, due dates, labs, announcements, and grading. All the exams are given via blackboard also, but I think the wiki's encourage students to take some control of their learning, and hopefully engage them more effectively. I agree with John above about the restrictive nature of Blackboard too.

 

Note: 4/17/08- I've created another wiki and I'm using it for my 125 Micro Lab students this semester.  I've divided them into 20 groupsof 5-6 and given them two different bacteria to research. The parameters of the project are listed on each lab section page, as are the groups.  So far they are going great gangbusters.

 I use wikis in all the classes I teach now.  Two of the ones included are public speaking for first-year students and message analysis.  We have a lot of speeches in these classes, and students always give half-hearted feedback in class.  Instead, I have them take notes on one another's speeches in class, look at one another's work on the wiki, and post feedback to help their colleagues grow.  This is helpful to me, also, as I have a written record of their feedback to one another, and I can track participation.  I also use my class wikis for a dynamic class schedule, to help students get to know one another (personal profiles), to coordinate their group work and projects, and to help students make connections between course concepts and things they encounter in their everday lives.

 

I use ANGEL (similar to Blackboard) heavily in my classes, as well, but I think the collaborative nature of wikis is hard to reproduce in other environments.  My students have responded very positively to using the wiki.

 

The philosophy wiki page was one I created for one of my professors.  We were having a hard time coordinating everyone's discussion questions and responses in the seminar every week--this way we could all see one another's responses, print them from one place, and access them from anywhere.  She liked using it so much she's asked me to show her how to make wikis of her own!

Hala Salih http://teachingesp.pbwiki.com/ I was teaching a course for postgraduate students. The face to face contact with the students was only 10 hours . So I thougt of increasing the time out side the classroom by using some of web 2.0 tools. So I used a pbwiki to post the the course content . I left a space in my blog for the students to post their comments.  All the lectures which where presented by pp were posted on SlideShare for the students to  download and look at in their own time. As this was the first time that most of them have heard of web 2.0 tools  they really enjoyed using the tools. University

This wiki is my class hub.  All information and resource links can be found here. I upload each day's handouts and/or presentation material. Absent or forgetful students can access these from a password protected page. Using a password protected page allows me to post copyrighted material that is used in class legally.  Each student also has his/her own private page where I can post missing work or .mp3 recordings of my comments about their work.  This is also a great way to differentiate instruction as I can post scaffolded assignments for certain students.  When we are working on digital projects, I have the students post the images they want to use (and the links) on their personal page, so we can check Copyright/Creative Commons licenses before posting their projects.

 

I also post my presentation resources here for ease of access.

 

This is my Tweetdeck/Twitter How-to wiki for staff. It's where I send colleagues that want to learn how to use Tweetdeck and learn about Twitter. (The images and directions need to be up dated to the newest Tweetdeck version.

I created this wiki last year with my fourth grade students.  Initially I used it to communicate to students, but then put pages together so that we could create a page in class to build vocabulary (geometry) so that students could look online to review the terms that we helped to create in class.  I then turned it into a student created wiki in which students could complete information on pre-created pages and create their own pages that were public.  I also created individual student pages that I could use for specific student assignments and communication.  Once we were up and rolling, students were adding content to their own pages every week (some nightly).  I had parents talking about how connected their students were to our curriculum and to each other (through comments with one another).

With both of these wikis, my students were able to create student portfolios.  This motivated them to work diligently.  Also, these two classroom wikis have given my students over the past two years the opportunity to explore online within the confines I set.  The first year reading and response was the main objective.  This past year I expanded my wiki to many other subjects as well.  It wasn't very manageable.  Last summer I was a camper and this year will be a mentor.  I am hoping after working with other campers and mentors, I can create a wiki that is quite useful for my students, yet completely manageable for me.

Oh no I hear my grandma again.  "Tami, you have someone else to live for and smoking is going to cut your life short and what will little Chris do without his mom."  Oh, Grandma, why are you always right?  I will stop.
