Wiki discussion update  Favorite wiki idea  Updates, discussions, calendar for students and families – great communication connect!  Articles, rubrics that parents and students can read together  Supporting materials in different languages  Wiki partners around the world responding to shared issues

Wiki discussion update 2  Favorite WebQuests  Un Viaje Emocionante – webquests in other languages (Leaht73)  Oil Spill in the Gulf – ability to investigate current issues/link to personal lives - excellent overview (kjgiff)  Hard Times Then & Now – excellent “I would give students some general guidelines and ask them to be creative in "solving the problem.” (yoderjo)  The Shot Heard Round the World – “During my unit we used the computer some but this would give them a chance to dig deeper and all my students love to use the computer. I find that technology is also a great way to differentiate. Kids can work independently or with a small team.” (kleverl)

MISL media/teacher resources  Publisher possibilities  Software on PCs or MACs you not already used  Hardware such as SMARTBoard  Hardware availability in MISL  Checkout for 28 hrs.  Name/PSU ID/Photo ID  Phone number  Includes cameras, camcorders, projectors, & much more  Materials Selection Sheet – complete in class this evening
