I have done a previous course called CLIC and in that course we covered creating and using Wiki's i the classroom. I have chosen not to do this in my current class as there are issues with the reliability of the IT in the class not to mention the student ratio too.
I believe that when back on an older grade Wiki's will once again be introduced to my class unless something else takes its place that is better. :-)
I have joining the Future of Education and Teacher Web 2.0 however my application is currently pending, this I think is a good thing as they are supposedly verifying that I am legitimate. I am looking forward to what these two learning communities have to offer and in return what I have to offer them.
I think that in the future there needs to be more sharing of general resources or the state and CEO need to create the basics for each topic being covered so that all the majority of teachers aren't spending too much of their personal time trawling through the internet searching for the most appropriate web based resources to use in their class. I dream a site where it is monitored and constantly upgraded so that teachers can go to the site and find a vast array of resources and sites to use in their classrooms. Seriously if there is to be a National curriculum with compulsory outcomes, indicators etc then surely there should be resources too, not listed in a book but on a well maintained site that we can RSS to.
