Join Me in Wikispaces’ First “Wikis in Education” Webinar Thursday Oct. 16

Wednesday, 15 October 2008 Clay Burell Print This Post

Update 1: Wikispaces recorded the webinar as a movie, and will send me the link when it’s up. I’ll post it here. I took the last half-hour of the 1-hour show to discuss 2 history wiki projects, and 2 language arts projects. Highly caffeinated and well-run good time (for me, anyway

As the Wikispaces Blog announcement below states, I’ll be fielding questions about wikis in education on their first “Wikis in Education” webinar. (As it does not announce, I’ll also be questioning flat classrooms in comparison to local collaborations, which I prefer, in my own experience.)

Anyway, details below. Please join us, and share it with teachers curious about the use of wikis in language arts and history classrooms.

On October 16, we will be hosting our first Wikis in Education webinar. Come, ask us questions, and hear from other educators using wikis in their classrooms. We will highlight a Wikispaces feature, see how you can use it in your classroom, and hear from an educator about a recent wiki project.

Drop on in for the following:

Get Introduced: We’ll run through the basics of setting up a wiki for your classroom.
Notifications and Monitoring: We’ll show you how to use e-mail notifications, RSS feeds, and usage statistics to monitor the work of your students.
Clay Burell and the 1001 Flat World Tales Project: Clay will speak about his Flat Classroom writing workshop and some wiki best practices he has learned from it.

Join us for the webinar on October 16 at 5pm PDT. You can register for the event at https://www1.gotomeeting.com/register/522719970. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your questions, experience, and feedback.

Dang it, it’s October 16th, late, I have a lab to design, tests to grade, I’m just setting up a wiki for my low level freshman, and NOW (another 98 hour week near its end) I see this.

And I don’t even know what a “webinar” is.

I can learn (and I will), but geez, Clay, the old folks reading this need a day or two’s wort of notice.

[End of harangue.]

For whatever reason, I can’ edit–I was going to fix “wort”–but given the meaning of the typo, it almost makes sense.

So I will steal from myself.

“A day’s wort of notice….”

Is there any chance that you will post the recording of the webinar at this site? Or somewhere else perhaps. I would be interested in hearing what you discussed.

Best,

Robert

Hi Robert,

Yes, Wikispaces recorded the webinar and will give me the link to post when it’s up. My presentation started 30 minutes in, after they introduced new users to how to drive a wiki, and I covered four different projects (2 history, 2 English).

I think it went okay. I had fun, anyway
