November 19, 2009 I am learning how to create a wiki. It's pretty fun since I like technology. I went to wikispaces.com and created one for free. I also looked at several examples of how teachers are utilizing wikis in their classrooms as opposed to class websites. Websites are created and maintained by one source and offer one way communication. Wiki's are collaborative and the whole class can participate. Both are beneficial depending on your purpose for them. Actually, I am hooked on blogs used for educational purposes like Ms. Rone's blog. You could do the same sort of things that are on this wiki on a blog as well. The kids are loving the blog and I had fun with it too!

November 22, 2009 I learned that Facebook friend requests are really challenging when they come from classmates who you haven't seen in many years. Most folks have changed visibly in their appearances, but guys still have the same name. Many of the females have married and unless they include their maiden name, I have no clue.

March 10, 2010 I am at the KySTE Conference in Louisville and just joined a session The Students ARE the story. We were asked to join a studentstory wiki and found out I was already a member of wikispaces! There was SD Morris' wiki listed under my name! How about those apples?! So now I am editing. Today I have reviewed Photostory 3, learned a lot more about MOODLE and now I hope to learn about Web 2.0 tools. And I hope to share these things with my fellow staff members. Ta for now.
