This is where we will discuss online publishing in the classroom. First, I also want you to look at the following Wiki Pages to see how others are using wikis in their classrooms. You can also do a search for other wikis to see what you can find. There is so much out there to see. http://schools.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page http://planetmath.org http://westwood.wikispaces.com/

After you get a sense of how wikis are being used in the classroom, shift your thinking to how we assess our students in this online world of publishing. How will we hold them accountable for what they publish to their blogs or wikis? What do we need to hold them accountable for? Start your own page with a partner in this wiki. Begin to develop a rubric which evaluates your students' posting to blogs and wikis. You can even both try to update your page from 2 different computers to see how it can be a collaborative tool from a distance. After you have your thoughts on your wiki page, view the other pages within our class wiki.
