Wikis are great Web 2.0 tools for working together, collaborating and constructing new knowledge. For this activity on standards and to become familiar with using a wiki, we will each contribute to this chart about Standards and 21st Century Learning. As people add their thoughts and information you can see how wikis can be a powerful place for students in your class, in your school, in our district and globally to collaborate on projects.

//** For this activity, review the NETS-T National Technology Standards and the information from the Partnership for 21st Century Learning. Choose a technology standard at the objective level, align it with a 21st century skill and name a technology you have used or might want to try to help support the standard. **//

To ** EDIT ** the page click on the top right on the ** EDIT THIS PAGE **button. You will see an editor pop up and now you will be able to type on the page. It is just like a regular WORD editor, you can bold, italic, color and make hyperlinks! DON'T BE SCARED, you will not ruin anything--we can always pull a back up page! Just click in a blank row and type your information! If all the rows have been used, click in the last row and then click on the table icon. Then, choose **Row**, **Add Row**, **Add below** to add another row for your entry. **__CLICK SAVE before leaving the page!!__**

//**__Be sure to check back to see what others have added...printing out this page at the end of the activity provides a great resource for you to use!__**//

My team has enjoyed working with the wordle, wiki's and voicethreads so far......this will be a difficult decision on which to use. My role will be to make sure that these technology and media-rich resources are available and being used.

I wonder which of the three you listed the kids will like best? It is good that they all seem pretty easy to use! (Steve from MIGHTY SECTION 9!) || Everts Middle School || 3b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success and innovations || Interactive communication - Social and Personal - Teaming and Collaboration - E-mail, etc. providing more timely collaborations || Staff are utilizing First class e-mail to communicate with parents on a regular basis as well as replacing face to face contact with parents at Parent/Teacher Conferences. || Everts Middle School || 1.c.- Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to revewal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. || Critical thinking, extending learning, collaboration, communication || I would like to create VoiceThread discussion questions for students to respond to during the week that are relevant to discussions we are/will be having in class. I could see this working really well in Social Studies as an extension to student thinking and a way to connect events from the past to current events in society.

Good way to use voicethread! (Steve) || Everts Middle School || 3c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats || Communication, Collaboration, and Partnership through the use of technology || I plan to use Wiki and other blogs to communicate and share what is going on in my classroom. The technology used for this is endless. I can create videos to share, links for help, and ideas for my peers.
 * Lynda McLaughlin

Good idea! Will you let your kids help you edit? (Steve) ||
 * Angela Willyerd / Everts Middle School || 3b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success. || Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking || I would like to create a research wiki using [|www.pbworks.com] to log their science fair information as students are researching. Students will be able to peer review others' projects and the teacher will be able to provide comments and feedback to the students.

I like PBWorks (better than wikispaces)! (Steve P) ||
 * Stacey Linhart/Bell-Herron Middle School || 1c. Promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning, and creative processes. || Critical thinking, collaboration, creativity,and communication || I would like to use VoiceThread for literature circle discussions. Students in the same circle could discuss aspects of the novel. I could post a question (such as what is the theme?), a symbol, or even a new vocabulary word from the novel for the students to discuss using VoiceThread. Literature circles could also create their own VoiceThreads. There are many possiblities for using VoiceThread with lit circles. ||
 * Brooke Paxton - Everts Middle School || 3c - Students evaluate and select information sources and digital tools based on the appropriateness to specific tasks. || critical thinking and problem solving || I would like to get to the point where I can tell students what I want them to (research a specific topic) and they can choose the technology which they want to use.

That would be a great goal! (Steve P) || Wilmington Middle School || 2a. Communication and Collaboration Students interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments and media. || Use technology to communicate for a range of purposes; assume shared responsibility and value of others contributions; creative ideas are acted upon || I am using www.mixbook.com (thanks to our library media specialist and coach of our team) to publish an anthology of my students' writing. My students selected 2 of their pieces from their writing portfolio, typed them on google docs and I copied them into the book. I think that I can likely figure out a way for them to type them right into the mixbook website. I understand that there is information about a teacher's account on the website. I just learned about it and have lots more to learn! My original plan was to copy a book for each of my students, but when we calculated the 3,000+ pages that we would use, we opted for the digital version. I think that it even inspired some of my procrastinating students to get their writing pieces typed and ready to be added to the book.
 * Karen Long

Mixbook? I will have to look at that more. How does it compare to Picassa? (Steve from MIGHTY SECTION 9!) || Everts Middle School || 1a. Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments || Social and Cross-Cultural Skills || Work with the teachers and district technology coordinator to participate in video conferences. Connect with another school to write a story. Begin with video conferences between the teachers to collaborate and determine the topic of the book. Then have each class write alternating chapters. This is not a new idea but has been a successful idea for video conferencing. In addition to writing the chapters, the students would be able to create illustrations for the book as well. The regular classroom teachers could involve the art teachers for instruction and guidance on the illustrations.
 * Bev Riley -

Skype? (Steve P) || Wilmington Middle || 1d. Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. || Communication and Collaboration || Working with our team create a blog or wiki for teachers in our district to share technology discussions, ask questions and collaborate. I know I do my best work when I can bounce ideas off of others and this would provide a forum for us to support each other in those efforts. If we could put this in place and use it to model our own learning then we might feel more confident in implementing it in our classrooms.
 * Cherie Dixon

That is a good way to accomplish this! (Steve P) ||
 * Halle Minney || 1d. Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments. || Solve Problems, Communicate Clearly, Collaborate with Others || Students can blog, create wikis, or google groups in order to collaborate and communicate when given projects. They could do this during GMO discussions in biology.

Cool! (Steve P) ||

Exhibit leadership by demonstrating a vision of technology infusion, participating in shared decision making and community building, and developing the leadership and technology skills of others || Increased digital literacy and Communication, critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration by the building team - || With the assistance of this grant our team hopes to implement our shared vision, not only for our Tech team but also to include our colleagues. Our intent is to work cooperatively and collaboratively as a team and with colleagues in decision making as well as in expanding contributions to the creation of leadership and technology skills in ourselves and others. ||
 * Valarie / Indian Lake || 1c. promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understaning and thinking, planning, and creative processes || Solve problems, communicate clearly, collaborate with others || I would like to use [|Voice Threads] for students to set up and take part in discussions that focus in on predictions, reflections on major events, and the "what ifs" that come up in books we read together or in book clubs. All students would be able to share in discussion and voice their ideas.

I can't wait to try out voicethread in my class! (Steve P) es || digital literacy || Create a wiki for teachers/administrators and technology staff to share ideas for using classroom technology and evaluate posted topics and research

 * Pam Stoller Bell-Herron Middle School || 1c promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning and creative processes || develop communication skills, creative thinking, problem solving skills || Create a wiki for students to communicate knowledge about a concept/skill or to ask questions to clarify a statement made by others allowing for development in building communication skills through writing; allowing creative thinking without fear of being wrong, and develop thinking skills through dialogue; develop/enhance problem solving skills through written communication. Students communicate understanding through wordles or voice thread as a final activity. ||
 * Kay/Indian Lake || 1c promote student reflection using collaborative tools to reveal and clarify students' conceptual understanding and thinking, planning and creative processes || Develop communication skills and critical thinking || Create a wiki for students/teacher to communicate with one another and share ideas throughout a book club. Students will need to think critically and then share these ideas with their peers through an online discussion.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">That is a good idea! (Steve P) || Chaney High School || 1a promote, support and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness || Inspire creativity. Also develop innovative thinking and communication skills. || Using Wordle to create......Students can write poetry, make covers for projects, list characters from novels, or create posters. || RO Borror Middle School, Wilmington || 4 a. advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources || Act responsibly with the interests of the larger community in mind. Apply a fundamental understanding of the ethical/legal issues surrounding the access and use of information technologies || I worked with our music theory teacher to develop a unit in which students worked in teams to create a music video, edit it in Movie Maker, and share it on TeacherTube. Students did background research on copyright law, argued a mock copyright court case, and structured their music for the video so that it either met fair use provisions or was entirely their own composition. Check out the videos here(the older ones are not as good but we are getting better!).

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Nice! (Steve P) ||
 * Sunny Claytor ||  || Creativity; effective communication of ideas || Students often think they are invincible, so to teach internet safety to high school students can be difficult even though they are in desperate need of it. To put a different spin on the information, I plan to change my approach for next year. After instruction and research on internet safety, students will take the concepts, simplify them, and use them in a different context to create a digital children’s story that can be posted to the web.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; line-height: 19px;">That is an interesting idea! (Steve P) || Huntington High School || 3 a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations. || Use digital technologies, communication/networking tools and social networks appropriately to access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information to successfully function in a knowledge economy || In my speech class I will model different types of speeches (informational, "how to," persuasive, etc) by showing my students a podcast of me giving each speech. I could stop and pause the podcast to highlight elements of my speech. When it is time for students to give their speeches, they too can make a podcast which we will use to critique and analyze their work.
 * Donald Kotnik

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Very cool idea! (Steve P) || Chaney High School || 1b. Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources. || The ability to use technology to identify and solve environmental issues. The ability to use critical thinking skills, problem solving, communication, and collaboration. || In my science class, the students have just finished a water quality analysis of Lake Glacier. The purpose is evaluate the quality of this recreational lake and how it can be improved. Using different equipment, the students tested the water and presented their finding to EarthForce, Soil and Water conservation district, and the Mill Creek park district. They developed a Power point presentation and a possible voicethread for their presentations. ||
 * Tim Bakos
 * Misha Boyer/Indian Lake Middle || 2a design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity || Communicate and collaborate || In my district, a parent survey indicated communication as our weakest area at the middle school. We could use flip cameras to make and post short videos that highlight events at the middle school. It would also provide the opportunity to receive feedback immediately.

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">A weekly podcast?! (Steve P) || Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. Students: a. apply existing knowledge to generate new ideas, products, or processes. b. create original works as a means of personal or group expression. || critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaboration || In my GTT class, students use their knowledge of gear construction to help them create structures to solve problems. For example, I give them a situation (Granny's Lift Chair) where they have to design a "lift chair" that will move slow enough for granny, not leave the track at the top and bottom of the stairway, and allow her to stop herself with the push of a button. They use RoboPro interfaces to create a computer program that will satisfy these requirements, and they build their simulated model using Fischertechnik parts. They rely on their own skills and prior knowledge to get started. some students choose to work in pairs, and I allow that. Others choose to work individually, but they collaborate quite a bit, offering tips to their neighbors when they figure something out, lending a hand to help snap parts together, videotaping one another, etc. media type="file" key="IMG_0234.MOV" width="300" height="300"

We could create voicethreads to communicate and collaborate individual goals and also consider "class" goals. At the end of each quarter we could reflect on the progress. Could also try this to have students participage in setting "class rules or guidelines" giving them a chance to have "ownership" of the class procedures.
