Welcome

Welcome to My Teaching Wiki

toc This wiki site is intended to act as both a guide and a model in developing content area classroom wikis. Building a wiki may seem like a daunting task, but it really is pretty easy, especially with support. For the most part, text or words are entered into a wiki just like entering text into a word document. Along the way, there are some tricks to jazz things up! But no worries, this site is constructed to take you through the process from beginning to end. And in the spirit of educators, we'll all learn some new things along the way! = = =Presenter Information= Dea Conrad-Curry Email: dconrad3@winco.net Skype Name: Dea Conrad-Curry

=**Presentation Description**=

Creating a Teaching Wiki is designed for teachers of students in the middle and high school grades. This wiki examines the learning opportunities available to teachers and students through the use of multi media forms shared via the wiki. A blended hybrid model, the instructor meets face to face (f2f) with learners and meets with them here on the instructional wiki. The instruction incorporates web enhanced activities as teacher-learners create activities within a wiki shell to be used by students in grades 6 - 12. Through collaborative projects, reflective journal entries and discussion groups, learners report the progress and results of incorporating a wiki into content classrooms. = = = = =Modules Approach=
