Wiki+Teaching+Tools+-+High

Create a teaching tool appropriate for your students, to introduce them to the concept and use of your wiki. You may use Word, PowerPoint or any other tool of your choice.


 * Attach your file, including your name (s) to indicate the author(s). **

You may choose to collaborate on this, with someone who teaches at the same level, or you may choose to work individually. Use the Discussion tool on your designated wiki page to exchange ideas.

Introduced my students to our wiki for the bio tech project tonight (2/18). I used my blog [] (the words "wiki" are external links to wiki sites). Have not linked the Expectations yet. Still working on the Etiquette Handout and the technology handout for editing. Susan Raymond on 2/18/10 Nice start, Susan - a gradual introduction of the concept. Please do post handouts when they are ready as they will be helpful for others. Joan Made some changes to my wiki after finding all the great things folks posted here! Also worked on a PowerPoint to introduce the wiki concepts of posting and editing. Am thinking that I will add the Wiki Expectations to the wiki as a PDF and not create an etiquette handout since Robin found that great wiki (the contract - check it out on the elementary page!). Not sure if I want to post the wiki.ppt in the wiki or on the class blog. Any ideas? Susan 2/22


 * WOW that was impressive! did you and I take the same course? I feel like I have been working with crayons and you have been using "Corel Draw " good work!!!!! Roy 2/23

I approached this much the same way that Joan did when she introduced us to wikis. I have a feeling my high school students will pick this up much more quickly than I did, and they will probably teach me a thing or two as well! As I was working on this assignment, I also discovered the Snipping tool that is built into Vista - very cool! -Vanessa Sandlin 2/21/10  Vanessa, I really liked your screen shots. They were great visuals. Susan 2/22 Vanessa, I liked your approach you kept it simple and concentrated on just what the students would be doing, Roy 2/22

I put together a powerpoint presentation that shows the students how to add a link to the wiki of a website that they will use for their project of finding a picture for a poster they are creating on an amendment to the constitution.

Marilyn, Good presentation polished and to the point, Roy 2/22 I wrote a Word document with some images for what to look for in the wiki at http://glasgowiki.wikispaces.com and instructions. I'm hoping to eventually do another video tutorial which would work A LOT better, but we'll see if there is time for that. Also, the big problem with that is where to post it. It's often too big to show on TeacherTube, and we can't access YouTube here at school, naturally. Michael Rogalski 2/22/2010  Mike, I had trouble getting your document to open. Any suggestions?

 * I thought I would try the instructors suggestion and create a tutorial on video for creating a Wiki. The tutorial is at []

I am so impressed with some of these! I use Notebook software (smart board) in my class to teach the students but figured you wouldn't be able to open the file if you didn't have notebook so I created mine in PowerPoint. I really like the video idea and wouldn't mind taping a student or group of students using the Wiki to make adjustments for next year! Debra Certesio [|Using A Wiki.ppt]

I put a word document together with screen shots to guide the students. It is just an overview of my wiki with directions on how to get started. I really like what others have posted and used it as inspiration. Thank you. ​** This is Nicole's teaching tool. (Joan)

Here is the power point I prepared for my class. It is simple and to the point and directs them to our next wiki. They have already begun posting to the wiki. I plan to play with video in the future. Jim Bartolomeo Her is my teaching tool. Sorry it is late. Al Holliday  Here is my rubric. Thanks again for being patient with me! Al Holliday
