Wiki+Samples+by+Global+Peers

Here's an **//"introduction"//** to wiki samples from **//"global peers"//**. toc =UMF Students=

//NOTE: These three examples were assessed using the [|WebQuestRubricF07v3.doc] rubric and the [|StudentSampleRubricF07v2.doc] rubric.//
 * [|Lora's WebQuest] was about genetic disorders. She created a template for her students to use when they make a wiki page on the genetic disorder they research. Here's the home page of her wiki site.
 * In [|Matt's WebQuest], his final product by his students is a wiki site or a wiki page that contains the graph, the ad, the store layout, and the business plan for the company they want to start.
 * In [|Mandy's WebQuest], her students used the discussion and history section of a wiki site to write drafts, share comments, and do so much more related to writing a legislative bill. You might think this was a social studies WebQuest, but in fact, it's English! Oh wait, could it be possible that she did an integrated unit in order to create a real-world application of her content? ;-)

=UMF Faculty and Staff=


 * Faculty Senate has a wiki: Faculty Comments in Response to Gen Ed Task Force Ideas at UMF
 * Grace's wiki site for EDU 221 fall 2007 (with pages for assignments, syllabus, agendas, class with links, etc.). Note that this one is protected so that only she can edit the content. Grace's new wiki site for EDU 221 Spring 2008 (take a look at all the changes she made as she continued to learn more about wiki's throughout the fall semester).
 * Theresa has one wiki for all her class syllabi.
 * Grace's wiki site for EDU 221 fall 2007 for her student artifacts. Students upload projects, assignments, links to their blog URL, etc. Grace even added photos of her class! Note that this wiki site is public so that anyone can edit the content. The hope is that no outsiders will edit but even if they do, you can always revert through the history section.
 * And Theresa has one wiki for all her student artifacts. She hasn't run out of allocated memory yet!

=The Rest of the World=


 * The Horizon Project: Have you heard of //The Horizon Report//? These classes from all over the world each read The Horizon Report and then collaboratively (across MANY time zones) created a wiki about the impact and possible usage of each of The Horizon Report items on their classrooms and their futures.
 * The Flat Classroom Project: //The World is Flat// by Thomas L. Friedman is a popular book among adults, but here are two classrooms from different continents that looked at each component of the Flat World and had a global discussion to create this wiki about the Flat Classroom (the impact of The Flat World on education worldwide).
 * [|Social and Cultural Foundations of American Education:] This is a textbook created by a class at Old Dominion University studying the topic. Instead of writing reports and sharing them with their classmates, they shared the information with the world. "To teach is to learn twice." This textbook was made on the [|Wikibooks] website.
