Wiki questions



  • Using the Internet, research how a class wiki can be used in education - Here is a good source, use it and adapt it to your specific classes.
  • What are the benefits of using a wiki?
  • How can we create one in this class and utilize it?
  • What experience do you have using or creating wikis?
  • 1. People could be doing a project together and can do it whenever.
    2. Multiple people could use it at any place and it can be edited.
    3. We could all put what we think of the class is.
    4. I use Wikipedia for school a lot.

    Invisibility

         If I was invisible for one day I would help stop crime.  If somebody somebody was mugging somebody or robbing a store I would stop them.  I would zip tie everyone that I caught.  I would make sure to drop them off in front of the police station with a note that says what they did.  I would leave without a trace that i was even there.
         I would stop any type of crime.  I would stop robberies, fights, shooting, anything you could think of.  I would be a super hero that nobody would know about.  It would be a good thing for everyone.  That is what I would do if I was invisible for a day.

    Web 2.0 Do Now 10/7/13 Period 7

         My class would be wood shop.  I think it would be a very interesting class.  The class would meet after school in the gym. The students would work on building objects out if wood using  various tools. They would all work on workbenches and it would probably be loud with all of the tools.
         The kids could make anything they want to.  They can make anything from birdhouses to baseball bats.  I would be a very fun class.  We would also go on fields trips.  That the class i would make.
