Educating the Dragon

Over this term I am assisting two classes to begin their process of creating a class wiki. There are two classes involved. A 7/8 class and a year 5/6. I would like to that nzchrissy as her TISRm18 wiki really help the teachers to get a handle on what is possible and he “Wonderfulworldof” allowed teachers to explore and consider the building blocks of wikispaces.
When you go have a look be aware that they are only beginning. This seems to be quite a process. We have moved through the phase of everyone merely ‘chatting’ to anyone online through the internal email.
I’m kinda hoping they will build their own pages through the tasks presented to them. I am aware theat ‘collaboration’ is the name of the game here. However I feel it important to lay down some core, individual tasks to establish use.
It is all very exciting, for me, the staff as well as the kids.
