I think becoming an expert in a field requires not only knowing about what a wiki is, but what wiki sites are good to use for your classroom, how other teachers use the wiki, and how to set up a wiki to make it work for you and your students. This week I found an interesting resource for teachers. PB Wiki, the site I have been using for my class wiki, has put together videos from real teaches discussing wikis and using them in the classroom. Some of the videos are really interesting and I think they would be a good tool for teachers who are looking to introduce wikis to their colleagues. Another great future that PB Wiki is offering is a presentation package. This is a great idea for teachers who want to share what they have learned about wikis and want to teach others. The package includes a presentation, a document that explains the details of a wiki, three premium wiki packages to give away to your audience, and a free shirt. So if you are interested in sharing more about wiki with teachers at your school this is a great site to check out.

Megan,
DITTOS.... I watched this earlier this week and thought this would be a great way to try to introduce my staff to wiki's. Most of my colleagues don't know what one is or the pedagogy behind integrating technology into the curriculum. I am attempting to "build community" in the technology arena with some of my staff...I think these videos have many of the key elements that are important.

Megan,
I just bookmarked this site so that I can learn more about wikis. Thank you! I really enjoy doing these blogs so that I increase my understanding of technology and education. My fellow teachers are going to start thinking of me as a genius! No really - I think this site is a great way to get me started. I will pass it on to others - thanks - Laurie
