Thing #16 After looking at several wikis and reading some of the articles, my opinion of wikis is mixed. As an elementary librarian with 6-7 classes every day and no paid help, I don't see myself having much time to search wikis or add information to one. However, I can see them as a tool for pathfinders to support classroom curriculum and for collaborating on a document. In a District with four librarians covering six schools and little time to meet, we often find ourselves repeating work others have done. I could start a wiki organized by grade level and subject matter. Then I could add titles of library materials I sent to classrooms for each unit and library lesson plans that correlate with the unit. Other librarians could add titles. lessons, etc.
I also see it as an improvement over email to collaborate on a document. We often send out an email and everyone sends their comments back to the sender who tries to compile the results. A wiki would make the job easier. Everyone would be able to see the other comments immediately.
Thing #17 Looked at the PA Curriculum Connection Wiki. Tried to add a post but couldn't log in. I must have missed were the invite key information was given
