I presented my session, Elementary Wiki Wonderland on Friday morning. I wanted to share the links to my presentation wiki and class wiki. I was thrilled with the amazing teachers I met who are as excited about wikis and Web tools as I am. It is so fun to share! The MACUL conference is where I learned about wikis from Julie Myrmel and Diane Rich in Hudsonville two years ago and I am happy to be able to share this with others.  My presentation wiki also has information on how I use Blogs in my classroom as well as blogging resources. Be sure to check out the Wiki and Blog links to see how other educators around the world are using these tools with their students, as well as the Web 2.0 Tools page. I will continue to add to the presentation wiki. I plan to create tutorials on how to add users to your wiki and how to use the manage wiki settings. I am happy to answer questions, feel free to email me or contact me through the MACUL space ning (and while you are there, Join the MACUL space ning. It is another great way to connect with amazing eductors in Michigan.)

Elementary educators flocked to Andy Losik’s presentation this morning.  The web links he demonstrated are posted here.  Of course, his descriptions of how he uses the resources with his students were the most helpful to those who attended.  My two favorites of those he demonstrated were:

  1.  Kerpoof – I’ve used Kerpoof before to create pictures (similar to Kidpix), but never experimented with creating videos.  That feature is awesome!
  2. Utah EE

At the SIG-EE (Special Interest Group for Elementary Education) annual meeting yesterday, Andy volunteered to be on the SIG-EE Steering Committee.  His opinions and feedback will be valued!
