6+Activity+Wiki

=Activity Wiki= Jennifer Alexiou-Ray came up with this idea and we have used it successfully. Jennifer also created the Wiki Tutorial that is used with this assignment.

1. Research how wikis are used in the classroom by doing an internet search. Be sure to read information that teachers who have wikis have posted as well as sample wikis with student work. 2. You will be creating a wiki that you can use for an activity in your class. 3. Your class wiki should include: a. 3 pages linked to the navigation menu (one can be Home) b. A home page explaining your wiki and project concept c. Three images (used with permission or copyright free) d. One interactive activity that students would use (It would require the students to edit the wiki.) e. Links to at least 3 other internet pages for more information about the topic of the wiki. f. At least two embedded widgets such as a video, audio file, calendar, map, etc. See the Widget list in Wikispaces under the little tv icon.

J. Ray--Something that I have added with my classes recently, to increase the interactivity of using social bookmarking is to post a tag cloud of their social bookmarking assignment on their wiki. They seem to really like it and it helps to show the link between activities.
