1. A curriculum tool for bringing technology to life Presented by: BehaveHeuristics, LLC. Kim Grady, M.Ed. President www.behaveheuristics.com March 31, 2010

2. Can One System Do It ALL? Interdisciplinary Adaptable to different “types” of learner 21 st Century skills Begin with the end in mind (backwards thinking) Led by a “driving question” Engage using the 3Cs – Collaboration – Context – Commitment

3. Where the Maps Come In… Organizes knowledge Creates a context

4. Where the Wiki Comes In… Adaptability – Open Content, Open Coarse Ware, Open Source Curriculum Reusable: Can be modified and versioned for different courses/contexts Accessible: Is indexed and retrievable Portable: Operates across disciplines Interoperable: Operates across hard/software – Interchange (collaboration) vs. Repository

5. Maps + Wiki =

6. Wiki Basics The simplest online database that could possibly work – Ward Cunningham, Inventor – RSP: Really Simple Pages – Versioning and Tracking – Permissions and Profiling – Tracking and Tagging – Communication and Collaboration Two Flavors – Software packages such as TWiki and MediaWiki – Hosted services such as wikispaces

7. Where the Templates Come In… Case-based – Solutions available – Dilemmas examined – Goal is to introduce TM concepts by showing NOT telling Scenario-based – Only partial information – Dilemmas acted on – Goal is to find optimum solution given information available
