Wiki, Wiki...This Summer!

I am going to be participating in a summer PDS series on wikis provided by PBWorks.com, formally PBWiki, called "PBWorks Summer Camp"! I think I found this on Twitter last week and I took a look and immediately signed up. It's a FREE (we all know how I like free learning tools!), completely online summer PDS on how to use wikis in the classroom. It runs from June 22 - July 21 and every week I will have assignments to complete, webinars to participate in, and homework!

I have two reasons for doing participating in this: 1) While, I have learned about wikis before, I haven't really used them with a group of students and 2) There was some discussion earlier this year about the geography classes at my school wanting to use wikis, however, we all decided we weren't quite ready for that step. So I want to prepared to use them next year. Hopefully, through some of the assignments I have to do, I can start creating some ideas and lessons to get us ready for this!

The only hard part will be trying to complete assignments while I'm at NECC! If sounds like something you would be interested in, there's still time to register!
