Quotations

// Quotations // “So how might we use wikis in our classrooms? One of the most obvious ways is to create an online text for your curriculum that you and your students can both contribute to. A co-construction of this type could make for a much more personalized text, one specific to your particular class. ….. It could easily become a resource, showcase for best practices, and an articulation tool as well. ……. They (the students) could add graphics and links, annotations and reflections. Just like blogs, they could also post Power Point presentations, video and audio files, and spreadsheets. And all of those collectively assembled artifacts could serve as a starting point for future classes to then edit and add to.” Richardson, W.//,// (2006) //**BLOGS, WIKIS, PODCASTS, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms**,// Corwin Press, P. 65-66

“….educators are using blogs in all area of the curriculum to collaborate with subject-specific experts, to archive learning, to share results of experiments, and to publish student work. Blogging across the curriculum offers students and teachers not only the ability to infuse writing into all disciplines, it facilitates connections in ways that plain paper cannot. Students can do math problems with peers from other classes. Science experiments can be run concurrently at any number of different sites across the country or around the world with student researchers comparing and reflecting on the results on a Weblog. Language students can create conversations with native speakers, phys ed. students can log and analyze their workouts or diets, and history students can construct resource sites for their study of ancient civilizations and conflicts.” Richardson, W.//,// (2006) //**BLOGS, WIKIS, PODCASTS, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms**,// Corwin Press, P. 34 Back to  AEAI Conference Presentation
