I looked around the Wikis that were provided in the Content area of our D2L and liked the one entitled English 10 Literature Wiki. This educator is utilizing her technology to get students to respond to literature they are reading in class. You have to join her Wiki in order to comment, but I went as far as I could and saw the questions she posed for the student responses. Very intuitive way to use technology. I will have to look at this after I am more comfortable with my abilities to use Wikis.
I went to the APSU Sandbox link and made a new folder. In that folder I added my thing #6. I was going to try and add the Remember the Milk log to it in this screen but was unsuccessful. Instead I just took a snapshot of my presence in the sandbox (see page below).
Next, I joined Wikispaces and posted a Wiki on banned books around the country. I would like to compile a legitimate list from teachers on these books that have been taken out of the classroom. There are lists all over the Internet, but some of the books are still being taught in the banned book areas. We shall see how lucky I get.
Great stuff, Amy! I've had an interest in using Wiki for educational purposes (beyond research) for some time. This particular post of yours opened up the possibilities and inspired me to do just that.
