Week's Reflection: Wiki Week

I liked starting a wiki, though between my blog, wiki, and e-Portfolio I am starting to see that on-line resources can be very addictive. I also know that I am a bit of a perfectionist; so, I will need to work on making my on-line time count!

I want to build a wiki that I can invite the class to post lesson plans and teaching strategies that have worked for them. I see two things hindering this idea: 1) Districts now purchase prewritten curriculum and 2) many teachers may not be interested in using on-line tools. However, I think that as new teachers and "young-at-heart" teachers continue to interact, we can build wiki's that help us all. Especially, when librarians, media specialists and others want to join us.

I was intrigued by Notemesh, a collaborative writing tool, allows students to post notes from class lectures, and use them as a wiki. This is very interesting, then your friends look up your classes by checking your profile.
