Wikispace

Contributing to the wikispace was super easy. I just clicked on the appropriate links and added my information. It was really simple. The links I added were "Effective Teaching" and "Erin Anderson's Lesson Plan." I added my lesson plan under the social studies section under HSSocialStudiesLesson under Adventure Learning. I added the effective teaching link under Social Studies and under High School Social Studies Blog and Personal Learning Network and Resouces.

Here is the URL for my lesson plan:

I think wikispace cold be used in teaching in lots of ways. It could be used for group projects. A teacher could set up a space about a certain topic and then split that topic into 3 subtopics for each member of the group to make a page on their subtopic. Then the members of the group could edit eachothers' pages and help eachother. A wikispace could also be used to help students share notes in an organized way in order to study for a test. This may be more appropriate for High School students who need to study more intensly. Using wikispaces would probably make learning more fun for students. It is also a great way for students to collaborate with each other.
