I have spend the last two days at the NYSCATE Leadership Summit in Troy and been inspired by some of the great things folks are doing out there. Two wikis really caught my eye and have me thinking about how I can support teachers and how teachers can support one another in writing.
First, Patrick Higgins shared the work his previous school district had done on creating a new middle level ELA class for all students to integrate technology into writing. This wiki is an amazing example of collaboration as well as the type of lesson ideas that just might jump start some of you this summer!!
Then, George Engel shared a wiki that he created with his math students for them to reflect. The use of videos and reflections here is incredible - but be sure to check out the discussion tabs for each student to see the peer review feedback.
It has me thinking about how I can model some of these elements in my workshops. I tend to create wiki or a Google Site for most things as a respository of resources but I think I need to make it more collaborative and more reflective. More you - less of me!
