Follow in the Footsteps Of Columbus this Week and EXPLORE

What is a WIKI?  You will use a list of suggested WIKI links to explore.  Webtools4u2use is a great resource.  When we have finished with class this week you should be able to create a definition for WIKI and give some examples of how they could be used in school to help you with your learning.  Once you have an understanding of what a WIKI is, you will explore an award winning WIKI to find a Web 2.0 tool.  Cooltoolsforschool is a great place to find a Web 2.0 tool for almost any project whether it is for school or personal use.  You will choose one of the tools on this WIKI and find out what you can do with it.  Once you have finished exploring this tool, you will create a short description on a Google Doc and share it with me.  It seems fitting for you to be doing so much exploring following Columbus Day.  Can you imagine what Christopher Columbus would have found if he had a computer, GPS, and satellite navigation at his disposal?  You may not find a new world, but I’m sure you’ll find something new and exciting you can use.
