Chosen as "Education Innovator of the Month" for June 2014 by T.H.E. Journal, this is the presentation underlying the archived webinar at http://home.edweb.net/starting-maintaining-virtual-school/
This document outlines assignments due for an education class in week 11. It lists that Class Prep #12 is due on a certain date and should be submitted on the class website. TIP #11, which involves submitting the link to a teacher website's class materials page, is due on another date and should be submitted on the course management system. Case Analysis #2 is due on a third date. It concludes by reminding students to continue working on their e-portfolios and teacher websites.
This reflection discusses a desktop publishing assignment using wikispaces. The student found creating a wikispaces page to be simple but found the overall assignment difficult. They enjoyed learning how to present information on wikispaces and seeing how students could use wikis to express their ideas in an engaging way, rather than using traditional book and pencil methods. The student sees potential in using wikis to present health lessons to students and allow them to contribute their own wikis.
This document discusses the use of wikis in education. It explains that wikis allow students to collaboratively develop content, act as critics and reviewers, and synthesize information. Wikis create a student-centric learning environment and encourage intellectual creativity and lifelong learning. Examples of student-created wiki projects are provided. The document recommends that teachers learn the basics of wikis and pilot projects with students, as students often learn the technology more quickly.
60th Annual EC Conference - November 1, 2010NCVPSBryan
Freda Lee from the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction and Bryan Setser from www.ncvps.org presented on blended online courses for Algebra I, Biology and English II through the North Carolina Virtual Public School (NCVPS) program.

A wiki is a website that allows users to easily create and edit its content. Wikis enable collaborative work, as any user can edit pages without needing technical skills. Teachers can use wikis in the classroom for writing projects, group work, sharing resources, and communicating with parents. Examples provided demonstrate wikis being used for subjects like history and science. Free online services like Wikispaces allow educators to set up wikis for educational purposes.
The document discusses how Wikipedia has changed education and learning. It includes quotes from students who say they use Wikipedia for casual reading but not formal coursework due to reliability issues. However, others note that credibility depends on perspective rather than being inherent to a source. The document suggests that if a homework assignment can be answered with a Wikipedia page, teachers need to rethink their approach. It also includes comments about how Wikipedia is seen as too easy but still monitored to ensure accuracy. Overall, the document examines student views on Wikipedia and debates around its use in education.
This document provides information about upcoming school events and dates at the school. It includes:
- No classes on Monday for Thanksgiving and classes starting at 9:30am on Friday
