Successful Blog or Wiki Projects

[Laura Brooks]

Hi All,

I'm writing an article and would like to hear of your successful blog or wiki projects. I have plenty of examples (of my own) where things didn't go as I expected and some good experiences as well, but I'm looking to include the success stories of colleagues. Think of a time when you've been able to collaborate directly with students and teachers, plan, and use a rubric to assess student blog or wiki content, etc. and have felt that students really learned content along with technology.

Thanks!

Hello Laura. Now, I'm writing a paper for a conference in Barcelona (Spain), next week, with our experiencies using 2.0 tools teaching Information literacy. I'm working in an academic library, in Spain, and I'm going to send you my paper when I finished it. It will be in Spanish language but I'm going to write an English abstract.
I would like to know your wrong experiencies using blogs and wikis, please.

I'm just starting out with tools like wikis....but I'm getting my teachers (at least slightly!) more familiar with them by putting the library schedule on one and asking them to sign up for their library times that way. (I told them that if they couldn't do it, they could come into the library and I'd help them...) I decided I'd start with the tiniest baby steps I could figure out!

You should definitely look at Kim Corfino's post on her blog: Blogging is Elementary. It is an amazing planning instrument.
