Thing 21

Our school is interested in better collaboration to become a stronger PLC (Professional Learning Community). Wikis can be used as a tool to accomplish many of the tasks involved in this improvement. One obstacle mentioned so far has been "time". This obstacle could be minimized if each collaborative meeting could be conducted using a Wiki to complete a product(i.e. plan for improvement, etc.) at each person's convenience. Later, these products of collaboration on the Wiki could take the form of lesson plan sharing that includes uses of technology. Look at this great example of lesson tool sharing I found on the Examples of Educational Wikis Wiki called Vocabulary Web 2.0 There are so many ways the Wiki could be used it would be counterproductive not to use them.
