Wiki for History Day

I have decided to create a wiki page for History Day this year. This page will include a spot for both my students and Larry Bachman's, as we are working through this together. He's done History Day before, and hey-- I'm willing to be the one who jumps in to try and set up this wiki for our students. I have learned how to set up accounts without email addresses, and so I have done that step. Now, it's just a matter of teaching students how to use and figure out how best to manage this. Any suggestions???? I'll let everyone know how things are going once the ball is rolling--- should be early December when we start to use this.

Pbwiki has little video clips on how to use it as a tool. Or you could check commoncraft to see if there are any clever, quick little tutorials. Otherwise, the tried & true screen shot approach works for a handout with step-by-step instructions.

We can talk about this at our meeting next week, too . . . or feel free to email me anytime with questions (kareneidem@gmail.com). And you may have discovered this, but here is a link to some educator resources for pbwiki: http://pbwiki.com/content/eduportal-resources
