Chapter+4

__Chapter 4__: Wikis

- "Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing here." (Wales, 2004) - wiki is Hawaiian for "quick" - trust --> there are more editors than vandalists -"everyone together is smarter than anyone alone" - wikipedia, wikirecipes, wikitravel, wiktionary, wikinews, wikispecies, wikiquotes, etc - History and Discussion pages

1. The Challenge of Wikipedia in Schools - Research: use as a starting point, but not a sole reference - foster a neautral point of view in every entry

2. Wikis in School - "Giving students editorial control can imbue in them a sense of responsibility and ownership for the site and minimize the risk of someone adding something offensive." - private settings for creating classroom websites - create for use among colleagues

3. Examples of Wikis in K-12 Education - Connect with classrooms around the world - narratives, video, essays, audio can all be shared - Wetpaint - can track the participation of students - Book study - Mathematics Encyclopedia - Colleagues share/create information (curriculum, projects, etc.)

4. Wiki Tools for Schools - wikispaces.com - wetpaint.com - [|h[[http://tinyurl.com/|ttp://tinyurl.com/]293h9a]] - pbwiki.com - Parts: 5. Other Tools and Resources - Wiki Engines list: http://tinyurl.com/34584q - Webnote: like an online Post-it note - Goolge Docs (docs.google.com)
 * creating - simple form questions
 * editing toolbar - change/add text, images, hyperlinks, tables, etc
 * adding pages - (New Page) create pages for your wiki
 * Discussion tab - allow users to communicate (reflections, negotiate)
 * History tab - view all changes and who made them
 * Mange Space tab - set guidelines (members, etc)

Please grant me the serenity to accept the pages that I cannot edit, The courage to edit the pages I can, And the wisdom to know the difference.
