Week+1


 * Week One - January 13, 2010**

Overview of Web 2.0 - the "Read Write" web - read/write - collaboration - social - sharing - peer to peer


 * Wikis (from the Hawaiian "wiki wiki" meaning fast!)

A wiki is a type of collaborative website with integrated tools for adding and editing content. The online encyclopedia Wikipedia.org is one popular example, Wikispaces is another. But not all wikis give public editorial rights as Wikipedia does. A wiki can also be created for a classroom or a club, with an administrator who decides what pages are editable, and who can do the editing.

How would I use them in my classroom? Would this take the place of papers written on usb drives?
 * as a place for students to post assignments
 * comment on reading
 * share resources
 * communicate with students
 * communicate with parents
 * long term projects
 * this is great for alt assessment
