Wiki uses for professional development

I need to find examples of wikis used by language educators with the following purposes: * as a sandbox (to experiment and play around, to learn to wiki) * to compìle book reviews * as a virtual office (showcasing one's work, including ways to contact the owner/contributors, possibly with a chat box embedded?) Mind you, I'm looking for wikis used for professional development, not with language classes. Can you help? Thanks in advance, Gladys

"The Achievement Gap" and real impacts

This week I'm writing a series on technology and "The Achievement Gap" on my social desktop. This is the third part of the series which takes concepts introduced by "'The Achievement Gap' and culture", and distinguishes between established methods for addressing the problem and making real changes. In my last article I promised to go more into technology, but it seems that the problem I'm addressing needs more distinction at this time.

"The Achievement Gap" and culture

This week I'm writing a series on technology and "The Achievement Gap" on my social desktop. This is the second part of the series which takes concepts introduced by "The Achievement Gap" and puts them into a larger cultural context.

Administrators and educators in the United States are faced with balancing federal mandates like the "No Child Left Behind Act" and state concerns like closing "The Ac… Continue

As if I didn't have enough to do, now I may have to learn Portuguese

I have discovered a vibrant community, full of passionate people. Unfortunately, they speak Portuguese -- although, having said that, several of them have taken pity on me and translated their comments into English. I joined the Interactic 2.0 community in response to an invitation from its founder, Jos� Paulo Santos, and am pleased I did.

Integrity, journalism and PR

britishmuseum04.jpgI attended a very interesting Westminster Media Forum seminar recently on the subject of journalism and public relations (PR). I will be reporting on that in due course, but in the meantime I wanted to write about these issues in relation to integrity in blogging.
