As I continue to think about my GAME plan for the upcoming year, one resource that I think will be helpful in achieving real world engagement of my students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems is setting up a class wiki. By using this 21st century digital tool, I feel that I will be able to arouse the curiosity in my students and open the door to their creativity. A classroom wiki is also a place where we, as a class, can archive our work, see our growth, and hear the voices of all the students.
One resource that I have been working on is having a projector in my classroom so that we can project our work, whether planned or spontaneously. We currently have a traveling projector for the English department, which can make things challenging because more often than not it is not available.
As the summer continues, I plan to view other examples of wikis and how they have been used in other classrooms throughout the country, and setup my own for my 2010-2011 classes, and practice, practice, PRACTICE.
