Challenge 5 - Wikis

I didn't intentionally skip Challenge 4. But I just wanted to mention Wikis. I have a Wiki that I created to share with other first grade teachers in the district. Last year K-5 teachers had the opportunity to participate in math professional development for the upcoming quarter. These sessions were called Jump Start. I facilitated Quarters 3 and 4 and created activities for teachers. I used my wikispace for teachers to gain additional insight and to share activities in the future.

This wiki is a work in progress. At this time I don't allow anyone to join, because it's a way for me to store information without using a flash drive. Sure I store things on Google Doc, but the Wikis are so much easier to organize.

I've had a few people ask why don't I let them join my wiki and my response is you don't need to. You can peruse the activities you're just not allowed to add, delete, or edit. I know there are options to add people and limit their editing abilities but that seems like an unnecessary middle-man.

But here's my wiki it's primarily K-2 math education.

I'm in the process of updating my wiki so I can share it with other teachers. Now that I'm not teaching 1st grade anymore I think I might actually create an AIG Wiki.
