Task 12 - Share What You Have Learned

I sent out an email to all of the elementary school teachers and received loads of response in return.

1. I discussed a class wiki with Becca. We've each done some work with a class wiki, but I'm thinking about migrating some of the material from our web site to a wiki. Some pages would be locked and only altered by me or her, and others would be open for students and parents to play. We both seem to like this idea, so now we need to set it up to play with this year and then implement more fully next school year.

2. I also met with Ken Sosebee. I started to show Google Reader to Ken, but his computer was blocked from gmail, so then we looked at Delicious. I actually found a site (http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/20_chrome_tweaks) about Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome/?utm_campaign=en&utm_source=en-ha-na-us-bk-gen&utm_medium=ha) that interested me. He liked looking at other people's lists and all of the compilations, but he wasn't ready to upload his own bookmarks. I sent him a link (http://streaming.discoveryeducation.com/) and the passcode for looking at the media on Discovery Education. When we have more time, I'd also like to discuss with Ken creating a wiki, wherein his students and mine could create posts and material about the subjects he and I share, Egypt and China.
