For my major digital project I have created a wikispace. The intent with this wiki was that Jackie, Ronelda and I would create one wikispace that would be used to represent different aspects of our school. It turned out to be a bigger project than we had anticipated. We decided for the purpose of the EC&I 831 class that we would separate it into three different wikis with the intention that when we are done this class we will work to create one wikispace for the school.
I wanted to create a wikispace that focused on being a Grade Six teacher. A place where parents, students, and community members could go to see what Grade Six is all about at Twin Lakes Community School. The pages that I included in the wiki are:
Home- 2 pics of the school with our Vision, Mission, and Belief Statement.
Classroom- A welcome message
Classroom Expectations- a letter letting students and parents know what is expected of them in Grade Six.
Curriculum and Program- An insight into the resources and some content used in my Grade six classroom.
G.R Program- A brief description of what it is and how we use it in Grade six and TLCS.
Helpful hints for students and parents- some brief suggesstions to help parents and students to get an optimum grade six educational experience.
Links- A few sites added that can help students and parents with homework, research,ed. games, etc….
Ca lander- A monthly calendar to let parents and students know what assignments and events to expect for the month.
I really enjoyed creating this wiki. I began to realize a couple of things.
1. I had to restrain myself from adding too much information because I don’t want to overwhelm the reader.
2. That this wiki is something that I fully intend to use in the following school year. It is something that I will constantly be adding to and changing
I hope you enjoy viewing my wiki!!

hello brandy,
I enjoyed your project, good idea to continue to use and expand on it for next year. I plan to do the same with mine. And I also plan to make other ones for home study students. Did you add me to tweet deck, I seen kicode say something to you but I don’t see your tweets.
