Wikis in Education, Episode 3, part 2

This is the information for the second part of the podcast on Blogs and Wikis in Education, Episode 3. Karen and I will attempt to get the first half posted in the next day or so, but I wanted to get this information up for anyone who listened and is looking for more information.

Wikis –

Tools-4-Teachers: a wiki to bring more information to teachers about using technology in the classroom. The wiki includes information and links on many different topics including free interactive websites, Web 2.0, podcasting, and so much more.

Grazing for the Digital Native: This informative site offers information about today’s learners, technology, and technology in the classroom that teachers should look over. They also include information about Web 2.0 as well as workshops on different topics. They have also incorporated several videos from different sources to help the visual learner in each of us.

Wikiversity: Wikiversity is a community dedicated to learning, research, teaching, and service. The site has many different learning activities and materials that teachers can use. They also offer their wiki in several different languages including German, Spanish, and French.

McMEL: The Maine Center for Meaning Learning created this wiki with information on technology, pedagogy, and resources for teachers in Maine… although I find much of what they have very useful for any teacher, not just ones from Maine. They have some very good information on 1 to 1 computing with the laptop initiative that took place in Maine.

Thanks, and I look forward to seeing more people visiting the blogs and wikis that Karen and I discussed and /or created.
