Next Monday we’ll meet again so as to go on with our wiki, whiteboard and google documents learning! Did you manage to upload songs onto the wiki? Have you started creating your own wikis for your students? As a matter of fact, I’ve only read some comments written that day and some editing about mix ability classes!
How are you all getting on with your ICT skills? Last seminar I wasn’t very successful at uploading mp3 songs on BlipTv and embedding the code into the wiki! I’ll try that again on November 30th and I hope everything will work properly.
I think it could be a very good idea to start thinking and/or planning how to use wikis with students:
Who with?
what for?
what type of task?
how often?
what do I expect to get from that?
how am I going to assess students’ work?
how am I going to guide/help students to do that?
what do I need to prepare so that students may use the wiki in the classroom?
I think that if we think over/ prepare the answers to all those questions we may start creating particular wikis to meet our needs! Remember a wiki is like a web page and students will need internet addresses and instructions, guides, grids… on what they’ve got to do.
We won’t see each other next week, what is a pity!!
Our next seminar will be held on November 16th and we’ll go on whiteboarding, wikiing and gmailing!!
In the meanwhile you are warmly invited to add and change things in our wiki or write any comments, questions, suggestions… you wish either here, on the blog, or on the wiki itself.
As you know, we’ve fixed a sort of double task for our seminar work: on the one hand we’ll learn a bit about how to handle the whiteboard and on the other hand we’ll go on learning about our wiki, so that all of us may be fully engaged learning new things! In addition to that I have thought of starting sharing gmail documents (??) I’m not so sure about when to start this. We’ll discuss it on Monday.
Today we’ll start working with our interactive whiteboard and editing our wiki pages. Obviously you can bring any files you think that you could share with others in your pendrive. Other than that, we may have a look at the INEBI site and download activites you find particularly interesting from there.
How are we getting on? Just a pice of news: This year IKASBLOGAK 2009 will be held in Leioa. Those interested in that event just click and you’ll be able to get more information: place, date, detailed program, etc.
I could only attend the first day’s lectures and they were very interesting! I liked Felipe Zayas’ presentation particularly and that’s the reason why I’ve embedded this slideshare
Here you may get a lot of information about lots of things but I’d like to emphasize their course on blogging (see ‘Cómo hacer un blog’ inside the widget called Edublogs) and wikis in ‘Curso sobre wikis’ in a widget called Nuestros wikis.
In addition to that, this is Isidro Vidal’s site and here we can also find lots of ideas!
