Jacki Kieckhefer's Page Day 1 I learned a lot about Wikis...I have a better understanding about what it is but my mind is swimming on how to use it....where to start!
 * Student page:where students can ask me questions, get notes/homework, reviews for assessments can be made!
 * District math Comm. Assessment page: Where people can share, change or give ideas to the various assessments be developed
 * Math Teacher to Math Teacher: A page where teachers can share their ideas on lessons being taught (planning time will be changing this year) and how assessments should be developed
 * District Common Core Question and Answer page: Curriculum changing will occur...new currculum maps will be made...input form poeple will be important

I like the idea of a discussion botton...I need more info how how to use it!

WIKIS IN PLAIN ENGLISH- made it seem so easy! All you need is three buttons!

I spent time on BEST WIKI

DAY 2 Creating a New Culture of teaching and Learning Article “How do you know the Holocaust didn’t occur?” 2010- Students have to realize that everything on the internet is not true! They have to learn what is a "good" website...and why it is good/creditable. He mentions in the article about every teacher should go to the "Hate Directory"...all teachers should view this sight so they know what is out there and how easy it is to get to. I think this is a vaid point and I should do it. However, there is something in me that doesn't want to read about all the hate and twisted facts. The world can be a sad place. Teaching young students right/wrong is so important because they are exposed to so much power....just a touch of a couple of bottons.

"What technology should we buy to improve learning?” many teachers cannot answer that question intelligently. But if you focus on information communication planning and you ask every teacher, “What information do you want? What relationships do you want?” then every teacher can participate.

Yes! Ask me what I want and tell me what is the best way to get there! I couldn't agree more with these comments in the article!

Wikipedia in the classroom: consensus Amoung Educators Article A lot of the comments in this article refers to the idea that Wikipedia is a starting point, quick reference, or used as a update for information. Wikipedia is neither good or bad. Wikipedia: Ban it? or Boost it! Article It has up-to-date information on timely topics. Wikipedia may be one’s only reference source on recent technologies and events. This is a good point to remember!
