- Cool Cat Teacher Blog: http://tiny.cc/5FdyE
I found this site interesting and useful.This instructor designed a project for his computer science students. He set up a wikki page and had students work in groups to explore the following terms adding links, analysis, commentaries and suguggested uses. He later had them work in groups to create their own wiki pages in order to study for an exam or complete a project within the following week.
blogosphere
wiki pages
social bookmarking
podcasting
RSS Feeds

This is an educational project also completed by done the students of The Cool Cat Teacher discussed in #1. On this page students have created a weekly "study hall" wiki for the 10th grade. Each subject listed includes various deadlines coming up and when you click on a subject you find links to key vocab. and concepts. This is an interesting concept, however, I think that it would be something that teachers would need to do together on a group blog or wiki. Of couse, if it's wiki than valuable information could be added to it by students and other teachers as well. This is fine unless things end of getting "edited" such as due dates. The best idea would probably to include a schoolwide, teacherwide page that all teachers could keep updated. What format would work best for this? Wiki's blogs, I'm not sure yet.3. http://tiny.cc/nudWc
This is an interesting middle school wiki that I found. The content is very fresh, exciting, and interesting, however, it's difficult to get a whole idea of what is happening in the school in general. There are sites in which students respond in podcast form to a teacher's questions. There are also various student organized podcasts of various professionals giving students advice about careers and life, as well as a variety of subject matter information. I like the idea of having a page that students can go to, add to, comment on, and use as a personal or subject reference when possible.
