Thing Seventeen: Region One Sandbox and Web 2.0

The California 2.0 Curriculum Connections wiki had some creative ideas of how to incorporate wikis into education. It helped in clarifying the value in this tool for student learning and engagement. I really liked the idea of using a wiki as part of a book club where members can post questions, comments, reviews, make suggestions for future reads etc. Several other ideas included collaboration amongst staff. One specific idea for the library was to have all district librarians use a wiki to establish district guidelines for the use of AR. I thought this was great because this program is big in many school districts, but it sometimes seems that teachers at each school each have their own understanding as to what is allowed and what should not be happening. A wiki could serve as a place for sharing thougts. Again, lots of great ideas not only for wiki application but also for other 2.0 tools.
