Use wikis with your students--everybody's doing it!
I'm posting this info-sent to the team her by Fran (thanks, Fran!)-because of the importance of using digital text in the classroom. Wikis are a great way to have students access and communicate information; the "creation" level is where we want all students to be on the revised Bloom's Taxonomy!
Wikispaces has just announced that they have given away 100,000 ad-free educational wikis, and that they are going to give away 250,000 more. Classroom 2.0 is going to celebrate the general use of wikis in education and Wikispace's amazing milestone by having founder Adam Frey and the Wikispaces team join us Thursday evening, September 11, 2008, for an open discussion of the use of wikis in education.
If you are using wikis in education, or if you want to learn why you might consider doing so, please join us at 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern / Midnight GMT in our Elluminate room: https://sas.elluminate.com/m.jnlp?sid=1101&password=M.8DAFD346DA4B268DC185FED8466556/ . We'll have lots of time for Q&A, which you are welcome to start beforehand in the forum discussion on Classroom 2.0: http://www.classroom20.com/forum/topic/show?id=649749:Topic:186332
