My New Wiki Page: Combining Technology with the 6 C's of Motivation
I really enjoyed making my wiki page for my final class project. The topic I covered is: Combining Technology with the 6 C's of Motivation.
The most salient part of my experience with making this wiki is how fulfilled I feel in having created a site like this. I was able to connect my pages so a reader can flow through them in a logical manner. I also figured out how to create a professional design and layout for the various site pages. All in all, this felt like a gratifying accomplishment both in learning the process for creating a wiki site and in the final product I produced.
How could I use this technology in my future classroom?
Just as my professor used it in this class. I could ask students to research topics of interest related to a unit theme or topic and provide wiki sites as an option for demonstrating what they've learned. Students can also use wiki sites as means for self-expression and reflection during the school-year.
How else could I use a wiki site as an educator?
I could build various kinds of wiki sites to share information with colleagues. They can be collaborative sites whereby colleagues can edit and contribute to site topics.
I am very excited about now being able to build wiki sites. Thank you, Dr. Smirnova!

Isn't it great? Teachers can collaborate inside a district! It's nice to have a little private site that you can run, because you have the experience. hehe
