About Me
I’m from Upper Michigan- Escanaba
I’ve been teaching since 2005 after earning my Bachelor’s degree in
Elementary Education and Language Arts from Northern Michigan
University.
I’m finishing up my Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction- my speciality is
Education Technology in the Classroom.
My family is full of teachers
I love my job!

What is Blended Learning?

What is a wiki?
Wikis move your student beyond the Web 1.0 classroom (strictly reading
information) to a Web 2.0 experience (more interactive).
The word "wiki" comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or
"fast."
A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant. You can
create or edit the actual site contents without any special technical
knowledge or tools. All you need is a computer with an Internet
connection.
A wiki is continuously “under revision.” It is a living collaboration whose
purpose is the sharing of the creative process and product by many.
Sunday, March 16, 14
The evolution of the wiki
It was introduced in 1995 by Ward Cunningham
The first wikis were used in restricted circles for corporations and
computer programming as a place to facilitate communication
2001: Wikipedia- first wiki for the general public
2002-2009: Explosion of wikis and wide use in the public- many
programs created
2005- Wikispaces was created
Sunday, March 16, 14
Wiki vs. Blog
Sunday, March 16, 14
What is a Wikispace?
Wikispace is my preferred wiki program:
http://www.wikispaces.com
14 million users, Free for educators
No fine print, no usage limits, no advertising, no
catches.
It is very user friendly, especially for teachers
Sunday, March 16, 14
Why use a Wikispace?
It’s the future of education- The State of Michigan considers “best practices” as
providing an online learning experience for students.
It brings an “online” learning experience to your classroom
Simplicity and Accessibility
Collaboration
Active Learning
Project-Based Learning
Organization of your best learning resources and content
Quick Feedback
Kids love it! It can reach the seemingly “unreachable!”
Sunday, March 16, 14
Classroom Organization
As one teacher says, “The wiki is my hub. I guess you could say, I
have a wiki-centric classroom. Whether it is blogs, podcasts, wikis,
or vodcasts, if it is created in my classroom it is linked on the wiki. If
the student creates it, they are to link it. It gives us one place to
organize and post and one place to send content to me.”
Parent-Teacher Communication (You can post monthly newsletters
on the wiki)
Post unit plans, homework assignment links, study guides, pacing
guides, and any other resources you want students to have access to
anytime and anywhere.
Sunday, March 16, 14
Classroom Content
Lesson summaries/ class notes/ videos (even Khan Academy!)
Work on projects, group or individual (links well with YouTube)
Discussion/ peer or teacher editing
Journaling/Reading Response/Reflections
Virtual Science Fair Projects
Student Portfolios
Literature Circles
Research
Collaborative Writing: newspapers, poetry, stories (teaches writing and revision)
Sunday, March 16, 14
Motivation
Sunday, March 16, 14
Let’s do it!
Wikispaces has great tutorial videos!
We will have a brief tour and demonstration of my page
You will have the rest our time to work on setting up your own Wikispace page.
Create pages on your new wikispace page for each unit you teach and start linking
the resources you use for the units to your page
Gather new resources :)
I’m here to help you get started!

  • 9. Classroom Organization As one teacher says, “The wiki is my hub. I guess you could say, I have a wiki-centric classroom. Whether it is blogs, podcasts, wikis, or vodcasts, if it is created in my classroom it is linked on the wiki. If the student creates it, they are to link it. It gives us one place to organize and post and one place to send content to me.” Parent-Teacher Communication (You can post monthly newsletters on the wiki) Post unit plans, homework assignment links, study guides, pacing guides, and any other resources you want students to have access to anytime and anywhere.
