Head on down to wikiville

Home » Education » Teachers » Head on down to wikiville

This is really a very exciting experience for students. Wikiville is still in its infancy. The stated purpose is:

21st Century students building a world-story of life in their home towns.

I think this is an exciting opportunity for students. If you are a wiki teacher, join wikiville. I did the setup tonight and plan to have some of my students work on it tomorrow during time they may have near the end of the class. (I always have extra wiki projects going for those who finish work and labs early.)

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

Hi Cool Cat Teacher!

So glad to have heard about you and your work over there in Georgia.

Your students are welcome to WikiVille – no doubt they’ll have lots to say about life in Georgia.

I’ve bookmarked all of your ‘stuff’ and will be checking back soon.

Cheers

John

Hi Again
Quick update on Wiki contributions – Spain, Vancouver, Thailand and others have now joined in – I’m seeking students who could support WikiVillains with English as a second language if your guys have any time at all in their schedule!
Best wishes
John
