ralbrightbiology — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 13:14:14 CST

Teachers: How do you use Wetpaint in your classroom? Tell us below:

Name	URL	How do you wiki?
Kevin	http://anatowiki.wetpaint.com/ http://microbiowiki.wetpaint.com/ http://physiwiki.wetpaint.com/	Our main application: The class is divided into groups of 3-5 people per group. Each group is assigned one page to create and another page to edit, and everyone is encouraged to help on any page. The anatowiki is the most recent site, and probably the best.
	http://jaguaronline.wetpaint.com/	This is our school newspaper site...feel free to make suggestions
John	http://favouriteartists.wetpaint.com/	We at BRIT use wiki to stimulate the uptake of IT. This wiki is used in class to encourage sharing. We have many wikis on various topics.
Sebastien + Mark + Mylèbe	http://protic4.wetpaint.com	Our planification day by day
elisabete	http://opens.wetpaint.com http://redescomunic.wetpaint.com http://arqtcomp.wetpaint.com	Although my wiki is in portuguese, i think you can see how i organized my classes and my proposal to students projects. I have the summary's for each day class and the project, then the students develop their pages and links. This a continued work during the school year....
Anne	http://boffprof.wetpaint.com	I'm trying to unite my on line FSL learners. Please note that my first attempt resulted in a spelling mistake which I have not yet known how to resolve.
Millmen	http://www.juniormillcorporation.wetpaint.com http://www.caledoniahistory.wetpaint.com	I use wikis to broadcast Caledonia's vast history and important information on the web. I advertise for fund-raisers in the town and help out a lot of businesses by doing so. Wetpaint is my first choice in wiki's for education!
TomH	www.classdocoproject.wetpaint.com www.classdocoproject.21publish.com	My class is making a documentary film. They use the wiki as a place to share resources, make decisions and discuss. They also have a blog where each of them can reflect on the learning and the process that they are going through.
Teacherbob	guildfordlives.wetpaint.com	With an international group of ESL learners we planned the site in class. Students made questionnaires and researched local information that they could pass on to the next group of students. Different students had responsibility for different areas but could add to each other's.
Kathy	http://primarymath.wetpaint.com http://plantproject.wetpaint.com	Primary classes from around the world are sharing their learning about patterns and plants through pictures.
Yolanda	aquasquad.wetpaint.com	Our class have presented their research project on water conservation on this site.

Mrs. Williams	williams12r.wetpaint.com exeterlatinclub.wetpaint.com	All 3 of my sites are intended to increase students' knowledge/comfort with technology. one site is for students to discuss Lord of the Flies, post essay as work in progress + receive feedback. 2nd for Latin Club, to increase member contact beyond one meeting a week. 3rd for senior research paper, to increase feedback + interaction + improve student thinking, writing, research.
Wayne B @ Werribee Community Centre	www.wayneatwerrcc.wetpaint.com	I teach computers, career planning and general education for adults. I use my wiki to provide notes for my students and learning activities. My students include youth at risk, esl, mature aged learners.
Terri -willinghamster@gmail.com	Tampa Bay Mentor Match	This is my first forray into wikis. I run a nonprofit education resource organization -- Learning is for Everyone - and I've long been interested in mentoring as way to build true community-based learning. Most mentoring programs I've found are for disadvantaged or troubled youth. I believe mentoring can benefit all youth (and those who mentor them!), and that many in our community would be happy to mentor if they had the opportunity. So I put Tampa Bay Mentor Match together to test my theory. :-) I'd appreciate others' thoughts and ideas.
Paula Ordunez	handsonhomeschool.wetpaint.com	This site is for Home-schoolers all across the Denver Metro area. It allows them to be able to Share ideas, clubs, classes field trips opportunities, thoughts stories and work that has been done. We have had so many comments on this site! Thank you!
Michele	http://b22geotopias.wetpaint.com	Students worked in five groups of four in our sixth grade humanities class to create their unique utopias known as "Geotopias". I posted pictures of their 'Geotopias' on our wiki. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the wiki to view the persuasive writing brochures and newsletters exclaiming and persuading their classmates all the reasons why their Geotopia is the perfect place to live and/or visit on earth.
pleft	Going flexible	This is a simple text-based game I've developed in Mediawiki. It's designed as a problem-based learning resource for teachers learning about designing online courses.
Matt	<sorry, private wiki>	I've just set up a private wiki that fellow Specialist Classroom Teachers across several schools can use to discuss issues. Wiki needs to be private because of confidentiality. So wetpaint was ideal.
Ms. Birdsey	Littlewood's Nature Guide	This is on-line nature guide is maintained by 5th grade students and highlights the plants and animals found at our school's environmental center.
Elke	writing homework in a wiki (in Dutch)	My class looks up their homework assignments on the wiki, write their story, and edit and comment on someone else's story. Then they read the comments on their own story and edit it.
	danagmccutchen.wetpaint.com	Our wiki is an additional tool for F2F classroom BCOM3113 at Oklahoma State University. We use it to share ideas for the service-learning project, post the syllabus and other handouts, and to communicate with each other outside of class.
Digiteach	cyberclassroom.wetpaint.com	Our classroom wiki is used as an e-portfolio of students work as well as a place to share our programmes of learning and collaborate on shared learning tasks. Check out the restaurant our year 7/8 students opened.
Al Tucker	http://pickeringportfolio.wetpaint.com/	This site is an e-portfolio sample that illustrates to our students how to approach building a career portfolio. Elements include traditional portfolio items as well as writing samples, graduation project and job shadowing artifacts, as well as images and multimedia. This was my first attempt at wikidom.
eduWLUlibrarian	http://teaching4learning.ca/drupal/educ-8/	Wkik for the school of education (teacher ed) at Wilfrid Laurier University.... it's how I communicate to my faculty/students
Miss Gill	(Private)	We currently have 6 year seven classes. Each class has it's own wiki. Students not only submit weekly homework (current affairs - PEC paragraphs) but submitt journal reflections, generate conversation about class tasks and had in formal assignments. Work done in class is added to the wiki. It is kept a reminder of the work we are doing in class. Students are also given different jobs, each student will have submitted and run a discussion.
One House Schoolroom		I am a homeschooling parent and I am using wetpaint to teach a unit on multimedia. It will serve as a portfolio for classroom credit and may eventually become a collaborative effort with other students in the homeschool program. My student will learn how to design a website, showcase art projects, writing, learn about podcasts, video editing, powerpoint presentations, and editing photographs. We will review available online tools.
Mrs. Papineau	Private	I just started to use a wiki in my classroom and the kids now have the "tech" fever! I work with students who have medium to mild disabilities and rarely get the same tech opportunities as our general population. These students need the ability to learn how to use these resources to have more success in their future. We have been using it to journal our thoughts on a book we are currently reading. I plan on having post their book trailer videos they make and possibly pod-casts once we get going.
Mrs. Polselli's Grade 5 Wiki	http://mpolselli.wetpaint.com	Our Grade 5 classroom students think our wiki is the best place to go to on the internet when at home which is based around our grade 5 curriculum themes. I teach ELA to 1 class and Math to 3 groups, and at our wiki, students have the opportunity to earn Free Homework Passes if students proove that they have visited links from the wiki and engage in the teaching tools on the sites. Check out the Student Spotlight page to connect to awesome internet sites for students.
mgenta	www.mgenta.wetpaint.com	A great online resource offering students electronic versions of class power-points, mp3 downloads of original science parody songs, original science music videos, weekly class schedules, student spotlight, fun science games, picture slide-shows from labs, and so much more. Not to mention it is a fantastic route for teacher to student communication.
Mr. Albright	mralbrightsclassroom.wetpaint.com	We basically run our entire class through this website. linking an individual edublogs from each student, keeping a google calendar with the class schedule on the front page, and moving toward turning in almost every assignment on the website as a linked google document.
