Introduction to Wikispaces – Eventbrite
Wikispaces is hosting a free webinar. THe email to me today says:
“Wikispaces Education Webinar: Join us on August 6 for our Education
Webinar. We’ll focus on features that teachers have found useful in
their classrooms and hear from Nicole Naditz, a French educator and
foreign language pedagogy trainer. Nicole has used wikis in her French
classrooms and as resource pools for her colleagues. Join us as she
shares her wikis including an e-pal exchange and a solar power project
with a school in Burkina Faso.”

An effective wiki
Learn central is doing some cool things (created by Elluminate) and although the interface is currently sort of spartan – there are some very powerful features in the group scheduling and room capabilities that we’re planning to use, at first with our teachers, but eventually with students.
This is a copy of the wiki grading rubric from last year’s flat classroom project.

Vicki Davis

Vicki Davis has been an educator and IT director in Georgia since 2002. Today, she also works as an instructional technology coach, staying side-by-side with active teachers and students so her work stays grounded in real classrooms.

She's a mom of three, wife of one, and loves talking about the wise, transformational use of technology for teaching and doing good in the world.

She has blogged at the Cool Cat Teacher Blog since 2005 and hosts the 10 Minute Teacher Podcast and Cool Cat Teacher Talk (radio, public access TV, YouTube, and all major podcast platforms), interviewing remarkable educators around the world. Vicki focuses on what unites us — a quest for truly remarkable, life-changing teaching and learning. The goal of her work is to provide actionable, encouraging, relevant ideas for teachers, grounded in truth and shared with love.

If you talk to Vicki for long, she'll encourage you to "Relate to Educate," to "innovate like a turtle," or to be "a remarkable teacher." She loves homemade sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls and runs half marathons with her sisters. You can usually find her laughing with her students or digging into a book.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and telling your friends about the work we do here! - Vicki
