Wiki+Workshop+5


 * Thursday 8 September 2011 **

Using your class wiki to share and collaborate on a group project.

1. There is a new feature in wikispaces that allows you to collaborate on [|Projects].
 * Whenever you have a particular assignment or activity, you can create a project for it, then define teams of members, each with its own unique pages, files, and permissions. Team content (that is, pages and files) are grouped together, separate from the main area of the wiki. That way, students in teams can do their group work completely independently from other teams.

2. Using Voice Thread to communicate and collaborate:

http://voicethread4education.wikispaces.com/ - This link takes to you a wiki that has been set up to give you ideas for using Voice Thread and link you with other classes.

[] - Here is a simple illustration of book reviews by juniors

[|http://voicethread.com/?#q.b21651.i122786] - This gives you a demonstration on how you can use the 'doodling' function to point things out as you talk about the picture or video

3. Using [|Lino It] to brainstorm, share ideas and collaborate.

4. Other fun ideas to try:
