In reading more of the educational wikis, I found one entitled, "Countdown to Christmas." I had to get permission to join this wiki, but after a short delay, was granted access. It turned out that this wiki is being used to post a stairstep of exercises designed to increase Web 2.0 tool knowledge - much like the 23 Things in which we are now engaged. One of the tools that I found interesting was called Wallwisher. This was a fun way to gather information in a bulletin board format. Since my K-2 group is having a team meeting on Tuesday, I used it to gather information for the agenda. Each invited participant was asked to post, on a virtual sticky note, her topic of discussion for the meeting. Here's how it appears:
This is only as good as the people who choose to use it, so if I don't get any responses, it was just an exercise in creativity - albeit a fun one!
