Creating a Class Wiki

Here I am answering some of the question I get with all the different innovative projects that I am involved with. Here we discuss the creation of class wiki's and why they are aa great idea. I also like utilizing blogs and keep a blog at http://eaglinar.blogspot.com/ and http://profeaglin.blogspot.com/ . In addtion to the various wiki's that I have started listed here;

http://classroomactivities.pbwiki.com/ - Practical classroom actvities

http://trailmaps.pbwiki.com/ - A site for parks and recreation

http://ucf-cet4583.pbwiki.com/ - Web Systems Design I and II class

http://cet4429.pbwiki.com/ - Applied Database II

http://ucf-sage.pbwiki.com/ - Service Architecture for Government Efficiency

http://ucf-rainfall.pbwiki.com/ - Rainfall Analysis Research

Why Create a Class Wiki ?

1. A class wiki makes it very easy for you to organize and present class materials to students.

2. The wiki can be viewed from anywhere on any web browser making the class accessible.

3. You have full control of accessibility and also who can contribute.

4. You have the ability to make information and class information public.

How do I create the wiki ?

1. Go to the site pbwiki.com

2. Select to create a new (education) wiki and answer the questions.

3. Follow the instrutions.

What can I do with the class wiki?

1. Post class assignments (example http://ucf-cet4583.pbwiki.com/Summer+2008+-+Assignments )

2. Post class materials and lectures (example http://ucf-cet4583.pbwiki.com/CET+4583+Lectures )

3. Easily edit and arrange the class materials.

4. Have other persons (GA's and other instructors) assist in the materials and also share materials.

Other nice features
