Brief Description: What in the world is a wiki? Some people suggest that it means, “What I Know Is.” Wikis are collections of server software that allow users to create and edit web page content using any web browser. For example, Wikipedia is a website where readers can edit text and link to other sites. Users can control access, verify web content, and share information and experiences. Such sites promote interaction, collaboration, social networking, and have cross-platform capabilities. Learn about wiktionaries, wikinews, wikisources, wikiquotes, and how wikis can be useful teaching tools for motivating student learning. Enhance your technology competencies as we investigate some of the most popular Web 2.0 tools. Develop your twenty-first century skills and keep up with your students! Other Web 2.0 tools we will explore may include JavaScript, online file sharing, blogging, and folksonomy. Have no fear—this seminar is designed for teachers with all levels of computer experience. “Registration begins September 29, 2009.”
