Final Project Design, Plannning, and Development

Mindy and I are working on a Final Project which is a teacher training for starting a wiki space as a repository for departments and classes. Below is an overview by Mindy Chiang for the project idea.

Here is the link if you'd like a look at the wonderful template Mindy has created, and I've uploaded, embedded, and organized my content knowledge.

Wiki Space Template is Designed and Produced by Mindy Chiang
For Carlmont High School

Purpose:

• Recognizing that both the teachers and the students have much to contribute beyond the classroom, we set out to create a simple to use and near-maintenance-free template on PBWorks site for teachers at Carlmont.
• To supplement our current system, Communicado, which serves mostly as a one-directional "bulletin board" where the teachers post assignments and grades information. There is no collaboration function available.
• To offer a place where the teachers organize and share their materials with the students, colleagues, parents, and administrators.

Goal:

• To create a near-universal template which allows collaborative and interactive learning to our teachers and students.
  • Click here to see our design of the template.
• To create a sharing environment for all subjects.

Structure:

• Each teacher will have a PBWorks site of his/her own.
• Each subject the teacher teaches will have one folder.
• Each page will be of one lesson.
• There will be a link from Communicado to the teacher's PBWorks site.
• Sample teacher PBWorks site
• Sample teacher Communicado site

The design for each lesson page is divided into three parts:

Part 1: Textbook material

This is to guide students to the parts of the textbook that they should pay special attention to or are useful in the students' study of the subject.

Part 2: Teacher-created material

Teachers can share their created (or found) supporting materials here for students to view. This can be slideshows, images, podcasts, and videos.

Part 3: Colalboration/Student Contribution

Students can shine in this area by contributing and sharing their learning with their teachers and classmates. This can also be an area for questions and answers.
