Thing #8 WiKi WiKi

Well I am impressed. I have been amazed with WIKI's since I first stumbled across wikipedia almost 7 years ago. I have been impressed with the power of corporative collaboration. I think statisticians call it regression toward the mean. As all the various collaborators make edits and changes the collective wisdom of all the individuals moves toward the central truth. 

I liked Vicki Davis' blog post Wiki Wiki Teaching She seemed really excited about the learning activities of her students. I found the Honors Biology web page interesting. It was a little sparse but if it is a collection of information that helps them understand the concept it may also provide support for students who are struggling. 

The Flat Classroom Project.  http://flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com/  
is very interesting. It is amazing the depth and complexity that the students involved have created. I found the Design Matters Keynote by Dean Shareski. He does an incredible presentations on how to develop good video presentations. On the same page he gives a short tutorial on how to use the Chroma Key technique in video production. IT's really cool.

  1. I love being able to go directly to Vicki Davis' blog post that you mention above. She has had a LOT of experience with wikis!

    It would be great if I could also go directly to the Honors Biology Page, the Flat Classroom Project and the Design Matters keynote. If you have a chance, you might want to add links to these too, so future readers can check out these great resources easily.
