Room 2 WIKI

bfulford — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 16:26:51 CDT

Welcome to Raleigh County Schools Project-Based Learning & Technology Event. You are now in the Room 2 WIKI.

This is a WIKI created in Wetpaint.com. During your experience this week, you'll learn how to navigate the site, add to it, change it, post a message, respond to messages from others, and finally - some of you will be creating your own to use in your classroom. You'll be surprised how easy it is to become a "published author"! Imagine how much more motivated your students will be when they can put their work into a WIKI and share it with parents, friends, and even Grandma in another state!
Each of the 5 "rooms" in PBL&T will be working on an identical WIKI. Your first task is to locate the Question Page and post an answer to your assigned question. Look on the Page of Links for some suggested resources. Next, you will read and respond to the posted answer of at least one other participant.

Every day, you'll be adding a journal entry about what you've been doing. To find your journaling space, look to the left NAVIGATION SPACE and click on A PBL&T JOURNAL FOR THE WEEK link to find your name. After you've written your entry, respond to at least one other person's entry.
