Student+Projects

= Student Projects =

1) [|Using wikis in the classroom]
 * This video is a bit blurry, but I still think it was worth adding. This teacher had her entire class built around a wiki where they could view homework assignments, poetry, and even have class discussions about the poetry through [|Diigo]. I think using a wiki in the Language Arts classroom is a great alternative to students simply writing notes in a notebook.

2) [|Using a Wiki & Podcasts with Year 6 Students in a Transition Project]
 * I liked how the project highlighted in this video brought together two different forms of technology, wikis and podcasts. The teachers had students who were getting ready to enter secondary school come together and create a wiki and podcast about their anxieties as well as their excitement about this big transition. The teacher in the video suggested that these wikis and podcasts could be a good reference for students in the future who are worried about entering secondary school.

3) [|New York Neighborhoods Project Demo]
 * This project was originally created for undergraduate students, but I think it would be reasonable to ask high school students, especially junior and seniors, to complete a project like this. The professor in this video created a wiki about New York for his class. Students were required to add to the wiki including information about less popular parts of New York (Queens, ets), walking directions to those locations, interviews with the people from that area, etc. This would definitely be a great project for students around bigger cities like Kansas City or St. Louis.
