Aloha, Welcome to the World of Using Wikis as the Modern Lesson Plan

While wikis are useful for doing collabroative web pages quickly and easily. However, wikis can be used to create dynamic lesson plans that help organize teachers better by having all materals in one site. Parents and students can also view these sites for review or make up purposes. Finally, adminstrators can view sites to monitor the quality of teacher instruction. Wikis are easy to edit webpages which can be used for a variety of projects.

Thank you very much for attending this session at the South Carolina Association of School Administrators Summer Leadership Institute. If you have any questions or wish for me to give this demonstration to your school or district please e-mail me at teacherbyte@gmail.com or jwoodring@yahoo.com.

Thanks toDebbie Jarrett (djarrett@scetv.org) and SCETV Streamline for supporting me in this session.
