Wikis in Education - Recently Updated Pages

June 2009 Tip

Including Podcasts & Audio files on your Wetpaint site

There are numerous ways for students to record sound files including cell phones, iPods, flash drives and laptop computers. These sound files can help enrich learning in numerous ways. Interviews can be conducted with guest speakers or visiting assembly musicians. Daily announcements can be recorded and posted to a Wetpaint wiki, a class Moodle site or a school's website or blog. I recall hearing an elementary school English instructor record a Poetry Jam of her students reading their poems - it was great to hear her kids read their work. Podcasts make our students creators and presenters of the content. It's very powerful learning.

Below is a short recording I created using Houndbite:

Here is a sample of iMeem's player - this is a recording of a sample job shadow interview that was recorded by one of my students and a fellow staff member. You can see how it fits into our project by viewing our sample ePortfolio project wiki. The students have taken this much further than we could have imagined and our original sample isn't as impressive as what our students have created on their professional ePortfolios.

A simple cam and microphone is all that is necessary to create this type of recorded interview. This is still in private beta, but you can apply to be a beta tester by contacting David through his website at: http://www.wetoku.com/

Middle Schoolers love research!

Welcome!
This is an example of an easy-to-use Wiki creation site. So far, this site appears to be pretty user friendly and not much time is required to learn this particular web-based technology. Depending on the school board you are with, you may already have tools for building wikis. For example, school boards that use Plone may already have tools and server space for creating educational wikis.

Suggestions for Improvement

will.jones — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 04:15:28 CDT

Idea for Improvement	How or Why would this help Educators?
Ability to make individual pages on a wiki private.	To protect privacy of individual students, to prevent students from viewing pages before they are ready to be viewed.
Have schools be able to sign up for the ad free wikis, not individual teachers.	By making the school administrators/IT professionals fill in a form to prove they are a "real" school, it will allow whole schools to get wetpaint pages adfree, and lower the number of individual requests on wetpaint. at the same time it would make lots of educators happy.
Set up a Wetpaint ambassador program, in which teachers, administrators can become certified "wetpaint ambassadors"	If you were to set up this type of program, the applicatns would need to meet certification requirements for wetpaint. Then you could have the wetpaint ambassadors be the ones to cheerlead for wetpaint, and even set up the education ads free wikis be their responsibilities.

Lesson Plan Outline

"It is only two weeks into the term that, in a calculus class, a student raises his hand and asks:

"Will we ever need this stuff in real life?" The professor gently smiles at him and says: "Of course not - if your real life will consist of flipping hamburgers at McDonald's!"

Food Allergies
BACKGROUND

Allergy and Intolerances
Some people are sensitive to particular foods like nuts, shellfish and cereals. The symptoms of food allergy can include breathing problems, stomach upsets and skin rashes. They are caused by an immune system response or a chemical reaction in the body. Some severe food allergies can be life threatening. Professional diagnosis is important, because other medical conditions may share the same symptoms. Most reactions to food are actually food intolerance. About one in 20 children and one in 100 adults have food allergies.

What is 'food intolerance'? Food intolerance can be a difficult concept to understand. Sometimes individuals can have similar symptoms to those with allergies. To find out more about it visit this site.

Below are some important sites for you to explore and define the issues at hand for certain individuals and their dietary requirements.

After this activity please follow on to task 3.

This task involves exploring and defining the issues of food intolerances and allergies. You will also need to gather information regarding other types of issues relating to food eg. foods that should not be eaten if you suffer from diabetes or heart disease.
