=Welcome to my wiki!=

This wiki is an assignment for my EDUC 567 course at USI. This is my first wiki and it is a work in progress.
A wiki is basically a website that anyone or selected members can add to or edit at any time. The most well known wiki is wikipedia where posts can be made or edited by virtually anyone. The basic premise is that it is a collaborative website. One concern with wikis is the ability of users to post incorrect information. One school of thought is that the user's will correct one another. Therefore, students will have to evaluate and think critically about the content they read and catch each other's mistakes. In fact, teachers can intentionally post incorrect information, tell students about this, and challenge them to find and correct mistakes.

I have created pages designated for different topics. I am experimenting with topics and ideas to use with students. You can click on the pages on the left. They are called: just for fun, learning log, math, reading, and writing. I have chosen to invite some members to be my guinea pigs. If you can find the time, please add to or edit some or all of the pages. Don't forget to save your additions/changes. Thanks for your help!
