How are things going with your Professional Development?

Do you feel the Professional Development that is offered on a one day basis is enough? Or do you feel there should be ways to continue to learn more about the new ideas you found? Take my poll and see how others feel as well. It's anonymous and will be shown at the ASCD conference on March 16th.

Thanks!

Consider using wikispaces for your classroom!

I know you all have heard of Wikipedia and how content can be edited by anyone who logs into the website. Wikipedia is a good place to start for a conversation regarding almost any topic and we know that there are times when the information is accurate and times when it is not. However, did you know you can have your own little wiki for classroom use? As the teacher you can start the wiki with a question that students log on to answer or you can post something and encourage the students to add to it or make their own corrections.

I have a wiki for you to look at:
http://dom-powerschool.wikispaces.com/. I took one of my blog posts from the past and made a few errors to it. Feel free to log on and make some corrections, or leave a discussion on the page.

Try it - it's free! Go to wikispaces.com to begin your own account. Students will love the interaction and being able to see what the other students have added.
