A Vision of K-12 Students Today

The Future of Textbooks

Best Practices for your classroom wiki

Why use a wiki?

In your classroom

• Encourage student-centered learning.  Even young students can build web pages, embed images & video, and post documents.   

"Wikis have genuinely changed how I teach."
--Angela Cunningham

For your library

• Provide access to information sources, book lists, and links to good articles.  Have the resources stored for future use.  

"I use it to manage my library staff, schedules, and appointments."
--Jane Carvajal

Across our school

• Host and share information between students, faculty and staff. Encourage staff development and shared resources across schools.   

"We are using PBworks to enhance instruction for students and provide high quality professional development for our staff."
--Sharo

n Grimes, Supervisor, Library Information Services, BCPS

• Make distance learning more interactive and collaborative, support research teams, and improve inter-departmental coordination. 

"PBworks proved its worth practically overnight, and I expect the number of users to balloon." 
--Patricia Cloud,  University of Chicago
