Wetpaint Wiki

In addition to exploring options with Google Earth, this week I chose to create a wiki on Wetpaint. I made the wiki with the intention that it could be used for the duration of a course, but now I think that a wiki would be more useful as a project tool for students. For example, on this wiki, I posted a project and included due dates on the calendar, created a section for links that are useful resources for the project, a discussion thread, news relating to weather and climate, and a link to a rubric. I was thinking that I would add more projects as I go along, but instead, I think that there could be a wiki for just one project so that it does not get too cluttered. Students could use the resources on the wiki, and they could also communicate with classmates and group members. The due dates are easy to view, and the project description and rubric are easily accessible. This wiki is really just a start, and helped me get familiar with creating one, but I will not use this specific wiki in my class. I can definitely see using wikis as a tool, and I like the extensive options for what you can do with a wiki. Here is the link to my trial wiki!
