July 2011 participants:

I had never even heard of a wiki prior the opportunities seem endless though after my intro!!! Ps i can be contacted at science@communityschool.us thanks so much!

Susan Hunsinger-Hoff 3:00 pm http://5hfall2011.wikispaces.com/ 5th Grade Interdisciplinary

Susan LaFaso http://adventuresummer.wikispaces.com/ being made by K-6 students about our summer camp it is on going and updated often so kids can show family and friends what they are doing

Shirley Miller I'm one of the moderators, and have used pbwork's wikis. I wanted to try out wikispaces to see if there are differences. So far I've only noticed one and that is under the "widget" area. There is a huge list of widgets, and an "other" on wikispaces, and though there are several on pbworks there are not as many. pbworks calls "widgets" "insert." Also, tables are easier on pbworks. I discovered there is a way to change a page name. Under "manage" click on pages, click on the box infront of the page name you want to correct, or you will also have the choice to delete the page from there. https://hyde-miller7thela.wikispaces.com/Welcome

Rose Stuplich (Rose S) 3:00 http://mrss-wikipedia.wikispaces.com/ 3rd & 4th grades all subjects & K-8 muisc I will use it as a tool for connect with Mrs. Zweck's class (she also took the Wiki-walk ) for web quests in science, as well as connect with home for assignments & for class project work to share both in and out of school. And, I got my navigation problem solved, so I didn't have to recreate everything :D.

Kourtney Denning http://secondgradeisahoot.wikispaces.com/www.mrsdenningsclassroom.com I plan on making this the hub where my students converse with our web-pal third year class in UK.

Kelly Zweck (kelly -- 3pm session I teach 5, 6, 7, & 8th grades, all subjects. I also teach Art for the school. Will be using this as my go-to site, as my website through the school is more difficult to use and the pages don't hold enough info. I post assignments and study guides already, but this way I can store for the year, and as I rotate my cycle through the 3 sciences and social studies I teach, I can keep these available and update as needed. I am hoping this will be the go-to place for parents to look at assignments, and may have a private area for grades to be posted (still working this out). I plan to transfer the helpful links from my school site to my wiki. I also hope to have my students use the wiki to collaborate and communicate with each other on projects. Hope to collaborate on a web quest w/a colleague for science.

 * PAST participants:**

Hello, I am Kathy. I teach middle school science in Wisconsin. My ultimate goal is to require students to use this to collaborate on their Science fair projects, but this wiki is to get them used to the PROCESS. http://grade7sciencesmv.wikispaces.com/

Suzanne Murphy in San Jose, Ca - teaching 7th/8th language arts core - sending my WIP wiki link https://murphy-soldiersheart.wikispaces.com/ for Soldier's Heart literature connection to U. S. Civil War unit study.

Fred Koch (pronounced "Cook") from the 3:00 EDT session. I am a K-4 Technology Coach in two elementary schools and I also lead professional development workshops. I updated and reorganized an existing wiki for the purpose of it serving as a "hub" for my PD efforts - the new pages created for this workshop are under the heading 2010-11. Here's my wiki link: http://67tech.wikispaces.com - Stop on by if you get a chance...

I'm Chris and I teach 3rd grade in an inclusion classroom in NJ.I was in the 3:00 session. I plan to use the wiki for group projects, discussion of favorite books, cross grade level projects. Lots of plans -we'll see! https://mrsdonohuewiki.wikispaces.com/

Hi my name is Anne and I am in Toronto Ontario. I work in an Elementary School and am a half-time teacher librarian and half time Special Education Teacher. I hope to be able to get a wiki going for the library.

Hi! This is Shirley, and I am in the 4 pm session. Here is the link to the wiki I created: http://csdtechintegrationk5.wikispaces.com/ It is private, but I'd be happy to invite anyone who is interested to join :) I am not a classroom teacher, so I created this wiki as a technology resource for the k-5 teachers in my school district. My hope is that they will use it as a space to collaborate and share their technology experiences.

Hi, this is Angela and I was in the 7PM for session 1 and then 4 PM for session 2.

Hi, My name is Marlene Grefig (BeadsOne), and I'm currently a 4th grade general ed teacher in New York City. I've taught 5th greade, kindergarten, and technology (my first love.) I envision using a wiki next year as my Enrichment Cluster for our School-wide Enrichment Model. I plan to brainstorm with the kids ways to use a wiki after showing them some samples. I'm confident they'll have great ideas. Here's a link to my wiki: http://mrsgrefigs4thgrade.wikispaces.com/ ( Participant in early session 4pmDST)

Hello - this is Keri Bone from Little Rock, Arkansas. I was in the the 4 p.m. EST session both meeting dates. I am considering how to do an online elementary newspaper in a wiki. I have one that I have started as an example for kids. However, I can't get on it right now. I will try to post my link from home or when back at school tomorrow. I am currently having network issues at work in regard to the wiki.

Hi This is Suzanne Shamrock. I am in the 7PM session. My screen name is shamrocks on my wiki and I am currently a technology teacher for 6th graders.Here is the link to my wiki: http://shamrocktechwiki.wikispaces.com/. It is public for viewing. This wiki was intended as my work space so that I could prepare to teach my students how to create a review of a unit that they will be tested on in their class. The students are grouped in pairs and are creating a page in the wiki together. They are also uploading some of the documents that they have completed. The students have their own wiki space that is tagged to their teacher. They will not actually be working in this wiki.

Hi. I'm Gina Sipila, gsipila. I attended the 7 pm session. My wiki has three different topics; one for each grade in my building. I have invited grade level teachers to participate in these related curriculum activities. Depending on their response, I could enroll teams of students or individual students. My wiki is https://elemraiders.wikispaces.com Any questions; gsipila@almont.k12.mi.us Thanks! PS I will invite cshively.

Hi! This is Sandi. I attended the 7 PM session. Here is the link to my wiki:http://winnersd.wikispaces.com I created my wiki as a technology resource on leadership especially for grades 6-8, but could be used with younger children in lower grades. Thanks so much TeachersFirst. cshively is invited to view. If there are any questions, you can reach me at sziegler@smsberea.org.
