Thing 17, Week 7

Tooled around the California Curriculum Wiki and looked at four or five of 2.0 topics. I found the ideas and links in the image generators and the tagging, Technorati sections the most helpful. The section on recommended 2.0 reading seemed a little sparse. The ideas outlined in the basic "wikis" section were great. Now, I'm not sure whether to use a wiki or a blog for our book club discussions. I think either one would work. Maybe the wiki would be better for creating recommended reading lists and the blog for book club discussion. The ability to add links on the sidebar of the wiki or embedded in the blog or a page element in the blog would be helpful in either situation. What a pleasure to have so many options! Eventually, the best use of wikis will probably be in helping faculty members to develop them for use in classroom instruction which will really increase opportunities for teacher/librarian collaboration.

I added a post to the Region One Sandbox which was pretty easy to do. I chose one of my ideas for a curriculum connection (Rollyo) but I am just awash with ideas from all the applications we've learned about.
