Post email inviting classmates to view blog--build community, see assignment

WIKI Due

Have you posted to another's wiki? It would be best if you reviewed everyone's. The wiki owner should have given you permission to edit if it is not already an open wiki.
You should have done this already (# 2 on your assignment).

2. Community building and maintenance 30 points
Wikis depend on continual effort by community writers to create a sustainable and active intellectual space. Our class Wikis  are  no exception, and this effort will be rewarded accordingly. The Wiki is your space. 

 I'm going to add #3 to the blog so that you can post the remainder there. If you prefer to have your reflections made private-print #3 and the remainder of the assignment and hand in.

Email your colleagues your wiki site. They will contribute to it. You are encouraged to invite those outside of our class when applicable.

Post Email: Oct. 20; Oct. 31
3. Analysis and Reflection 20 points
A.      Explain your choice of wiki, topic, and inclusions. Students should outline their contributions to the wiki and share their reflections, concerns, and suggestions for future Wiki-makers. This needs to be handed in. This will include at least 3 separate entries of 1-2 paragraphs each throughout the project :
(1)    When first encountering wiki at the beginning of the course.
(2)   What do you think/feel about this collaborative learning environment?
(3)   What are your expectations for yourself?
(4)   If you have previously used wiki in another course, describe what you have previously learned and how you want to expand your understanding.
What can you contribute as an experienced participant?
(5)  
B. Think about the following and answer to the best of your ability:
(6)   How do you choose which postings to contribute or change? What do you look for?
(a)   What are your thoughts on adding, editing or re-arranging other people's work?
(7)   Do you regularly check your own postings for alterations? Has anyone changed your work and how have you felt about it?

different WIKI


žWetpaint
¡The Wetpaint platform rolls features from wikis, blogs, and forums into what they call "your own social websiteFor teachers, they have a special page about Wikis in Education and an Educator Ambassador to personally answer any questions you might have about using a wiki in the classroom.
žWikispaces
¡Wikipsaces is another wiki platform with a special offer for teachers. Since 2006, they have given away over 100,000 wikis for K-12 education, and have announced a goal of adding another 250,000 to that number.
 
žPBWiki
¡PBWiki provides educators a 10MB wiki for an unlimited number of users for free. Key features include speedy setup, an audit trail of changes made to the wiki pages, RSS and email notification of wiki updates, IP whitelisting and blacklisting, and four roles to control access: Reader, Writer, Editor and Administrator.
žPikiWiki
¡PikiWiki is the easiest wiki to learn and a great one for elementary-age kids. With PikiWiki, even novice computer users can create unique, expressive web pages by dragging and dropping pictures, video, or any other media into their browser right from their computer desktop.
