Look at Examples
During our afternoon breakout session, we'll take our first look at some ideas on how to use a classroom blog or wiki: Examples for wikis [|Examples for blogs]

Plan Your Website
Audubon CSD's goal is for each teacher to establish a web presence by the end of the 09-10 school year. What makes sense to you, using a wiki or a blog? What ideas do you have that you'd like to include on the page?

Share your ideas on our wiki on the ideas page. We will talk about our ideas as a staff at our May inservice.

Start your own website. Be sure to post the link to your website on the Staff Website page of our wiki.

Continue the Conversation
As you go, add planning questions to our wiki on the Questions page. They can be logistical (how do I do this...?), pedagogical (how can we assess a student blog?), management (what type of parent permission would I need to do this project?), or future vision concerns (will we have enough computers available?).

As a staff, we'll discuss our questions at our May inservice.
