Do you want a more attractive class website? This week Jake and Jenny discuss the process of designing a customized logo for a class wiki. We'll share how to use layers, the eyedropper tool and paint bucket with the free web-based tool, Sumo Paint.

With this episode, we flip the mic (metaphorically) and talk with someone who's a lot more used to writing speeches than delivering them. That's not to say Ian Griffin isn't at home behind a lectern; he's an accomplished speaker and a skilled communicator.If you're in the tech industry, you've probably heard his words; Ian has worked in executive communications at Cisco, Hewlett Packard and Sun Microsystems. He's also incredibly generous with his time and expertise, as many Silicon Valley communicators who've attended one of his presentations can tell you. In this interview, he asks why we put so much effort into creating a speech, and then fail to do that little extra bit that can help it reach far more people... and he offers lots of ideas for what that little extra bit can be.Ian Griffin's blog, Wikispaces hub, LinkedIn profile and Twitter feedWikispaces, Slideshare, Twitter search, HootSuiteCliff Atkinson's The Backchannel (yep, it came up again!)

This week at Radio Berkman we tried something new. During our recent interview with Berkman Fellow Justin Reich about his report The State of Wiki Usage in U.S. K-12 Schools: Leveraging Web 2.0 Data Warehouses to Assess Quality and Equity in Online Learning Environments, we learned that only one percent of educational wikis succeed in creating the kind of multimedia, collaborative learning environment we have come to associate with open educational resources like PBWikis and Wikispaces. Justin’s findings, and their implications, are so intriguing that we decided it was time to go into the field and do some investigative work of our own. Radio Berkman wanted to know: Who is making those successful wikis and how? Producer Frances Harlow spent a day at Thayer Academy in Braintree, Massachusetts sitting in on professional development sessions and interviewing instructors, including Director of Studies and History Department Head (and classroom wiki “missionary”) Matt Dunne Veteran History teacher Norma Atkinson Listen to what she found and be sure to let us know what you think of this Radio Berkman experiment!

The first episode illustrates how to create a Wikispace. Other episodes will illustrate how to use it for effectiveness in the classroom and outside the school walls.

News and Information NMSA Annual Conference, October 30 - November 1, 2008 Housing and Transportation updated on website. Make housing arrangements via their website for discounts on hotel rooms. 1. Students want more use of gaming technology in their learning. 64% of students report that they are gamers and consider that a must have in their schools. Only 15% of teachers see that as a means of effective teaching. Source: eSchool News. 2. DimensionM: Learn Algebra through a Second Life style interface and solve problems in the game that teach algebraic concepts. 3. Recommended game resources: * Create a graphic novel from a traditional novel using Comic Life or spice up your notes with creative visuals using the Comic Life software to mix up your notes and presentations. * Restaurant Empire: Create a restaurant, choose your recipes, hire your chefs and manage your empire in either a free limited version or a full pay version. More simulation games from this group here. (NMSA) * Oil Tycoon: start with a small plot of land, some cash and build your empire to rule the world! * Civilization: Take on the attributes of a past civilization and guide it through time. The always entertaining version of "what if" in History. Barzun, Graff, and Breisach (Historiographers and researchers) might take issue with it to a degree, but it gives the student a way to investigate what happened vs. what might have happened if they knew then what you know now. All that without worrying about messing up the space/timeline thingy and figuring out a Heisenberg Principle Compensator device . . . * Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom: Online simulation of China's Middle Kingdom. * Health Care simulators. Online Insight: Challenges beat Cheerleading Simply providing online discussion forums is not enough to keep students engaged in virtual courses, according to educators who are well-versed in online instruction: For real learning to occur in an online setting, virtual-school educators must establish clear rubrics and enforce rules for participation. Check out the article for more information. Wikis Learn about Wikis and discover ways they're being used. (Wiki-Waki-Woo!) Wikis have great potential as an educational tool for both teachers and students because they encourage collaborative learning and resource sharing. Among the things they can be used for are: - Collaborative writing - Brainstorming - Creation and organization of content and study guides - Lesson summaries - Group notetaking - Dissemination of classroom information - Literature circles - Collaborative textbooks - Resource collections - Vocabulary study Comparing Hemispheres - project between schools in NY and Australia Westwood Schools Wiki - online space for Camilla, GA students Welker's Wikinomics - AP Economics class at Shanghai American School Hanalee Book Wiki - 5th graders study of the novel, Turn Homeward, Hannalee Arbor Heights Elementary School Wiki - wiki as a school web site Flat Planet Wikispace - students in Canada and UK examine environmental issues Photosharing with Flickr Workshop - wiki to provide resources for workshop wikiHow - collaborative project to build world's largest how-to manual Create a wiki at WikiSpaces. Good spot to find more information about a variety of technologies. Common Craft.

Interview with Chris Fuller, Spanish teacher from Edgehill College, in Bideford, North Devon at The UK eTwinning Conference 2007.

Adam Frey, co-founder of wikispaces, talks to me about using wikis in education (this is the longer version of the interview). We discuss how wikispaces is giving away 100,000 free plus wilkis to K-12 teachers. He also explains the features of their wikis that make them easy to use with students. He shares tips for setting up wikis & encouraging collaboration between members. We examine the benefits of wikis in education by looking at the excellent work done by students in the flatclassroomproject.wikispaces.com. If you want to learn more about "how to" use mobile devices (such as ipods, PDAs) with students check out my wiki site, Mobile Technology in TAFE wiki

TweetEdTechWeekly is currently on hiatus, but when active is a live, interactive webcast discussion of the latest topics of interest to the educational technology community.The show is hosted by Jeff Lebow, Dave Cormier, Jennifer Maddrell, and John Schinker. Guest hosts are also common. The live webcast takes place on Sundays at 4pmPDT / 7pmEDT / 2300 GMT (global times). To listen live, click on the Participate Live link.After each show, the audio and/or video  recording, chat log,  and list of links will be published on EdTechTalk.com.For a while back in 2010-2011, we used Wikispaces to keep track of guests and show notes. With the demise of Wikispaces, we exported those pages and have attached them here. Not that they'll be useful to anyone, but at least they still exist.read more
