flatclassroom09-3 - Workflow Software - Discussion - Teacher Feedback from Mrs. Davis
This is an example of how I used Diigo to create an annotated link to give feedback on a wiki on Flat Classroom. I love using Diigo for giving wiki feedback because I can mark up the page. I like ot share them through groups that are private with my students and I and the annotated link feature is one of the best ways to do this.

50 Ways to Use Wikis for a More Collaborative and Interactive Classroom | Smart Teaching
Some interesting ideas, with examples of each.
Intro to Cultural Anthropology F09 Home - Intro to Cultural Anthropology F09
This is the wiki page for one of my former student (she was in the first Flat Classroom class and in Tom Friedman's book along with me) -- thiws is what they are using for the cultural anthropology class at Florida State University. She was so excited because she was one of the only students in the class who knew how to use a wiki at all! She says the others are lost.
It is time for you to wake up and smell the paper burning! Time to get on board and make sure students know how to use these tools!
Wikis in the Classroom
This wiki presentation from k12 online a few years back is still current and on this page you'll find a low res and high res video as well as a notebook to use when you watch the video, a wiki grading rubric and a chart about the components of an effective Web 2 classroom.
I just emailed it to another person - when people say they are starting wikis, I always send this out.
After the boom, is Wikipedia heading for bust? - tech - 04 August 2009 - New Scientist
So, is Wikipedia headed out? Some scientists have found that:
"The number of articles added per month flattened out at 60,000 in 2006 and has since declined by around a third. They also found that the number of edits made every month and the number of active editors both stopped growing the following year, flattening out at around 5.5 million and 750,000 respectively."
I have to wonder if their changes in who can edit has caused this shift. People still look at it (I do) to kick off research.

Introduction to Wikispaces - Eventbrite
Wikispaces is hosting a free webinar. THe email to me today says:
"Wikispaces Education Webinar: Join us on August 6 for our Education
Webinar. We'll focus on features that teachers have found useful in
their classrooms and hear from Nicole Naditz, a French educator and
foreign language pedagogy trainer. Nicole has used wikis in her French
classrooms and as resource pools for her colleagues. Join us as she
shares her wikis including an e-pal exchange and a solar power project
with a school in Burkina Faso."
Revizr - Document Revision and Review
This website says that they are the evolution of the wiki and there are some neat things about it. It looks sort of like a hybrid between a wiki and Google docs and I'm going to take a look at this.
It is interesting, because from testing it, it looks like you can upload a document to get started - would make it ideal for term papers. It does cost something, but the features that allow you to comment on individual lines are pretty robust.
Revizr - Revizr for Education
A white paper on how revisr would work for educators. Could be interesting to use for the writing of term papers, etc.

Wissahickon School District's eT » home
Dianne Krause, Instructional Technology specialist, from Blue Bell, PA USA (http://diannekrause.edublogs.org) has put together an incredible e toolbox wiki that is worth sharing with anyone using a wiki or any web 2.o tool!
She shares the tool and gives an example, exactly the type of thing inquiring teachers want to see. She is modeling instead of just expecting them to figure it out! Great job, Diane - you are my new wiki go-to gal! Wow!
From digital portfolios to online databases and Ning, she does a GREAT job on this wiki of putting it all together.
Bitty Browser Home Page -- Picture-in-Picture for the Web
Bitty Browser is an incredibly cool and useful tool.
It allows you to embed a website inside another web page - so if you want to embed a web page for people to use in your wiki, just use the bitty browser. You can even create up to 100 feeds and make a mini RSS reader for education news for those teachers you KNOW will NEVER use RSS. Fascinating tool.
Engage08 » Wiki Pizzaz
Cool wiki page - Carla Marchant at Bluff Park and Deer Valley Elementary Schools in Hoover City, Alabama made this amazing wiki page with so many things that can be embedded into a wiki. This is a great list and has some things I want to play with!
Great job!
