Week 7 #17 Wiki–Curriculum Connection October 17, 2009

After spending some time in the “sandbox” @ Classroom Learning 2.0’s wiki, I reviewed some examples of teacher/educator related wikis.  The Language Link Wiki had some great resources including:

“Grant Writing”

  • Tips, formats, outlines
  • How to develop a grant
  • Potential grant opportunities (technology, K-12, Gov’t, etc.)

There were great resources under “Lesson Planning Templates” as well:

  • Planning an 80 minute block lesson
  • Language/Literacy lesson planning
  • Templates for a variety of grade levels and content areas

I enjoyed seeing how teachers are able to log in to this wiki and see each other’s work, see how each is using resources and sharing the best of their tips and techniques.  Wikis are great resources for librarians.  Since I work with 7 other librarians in my district, it would be great to use a wiki for generating tips, lessons, and curriculum that we use in our K-12 libraries.  This way, all of us could contribute and see what is happening across the grade levels.

    I certainly agree. Utilizing wikis in a school district for librarians would be a fantastic tool. When I worked in a school library, it was difficult for the librarians to get together and collaborate, even on inservice days. We had wanted to begin formulating lesson plans we all could share and adapt for each library so there would be some consistency. A wiki would have been the perfect solution.
