Science SOL Wiki

This week I am going to introduce the Wiki I made to help review for the Science SOL.  I got the idea in class when we were talking about the possible uses for a Wiki.  One of my classmates, Heather, already created one and has been using it with her science students.  She invited me to her Wiki so I could see how she set it up.  I loved all her ideas and created mine to look quite a bit like hers.  The only difference is my Wiki is part of our blackboard site since I'm not allowed to use anything that the kids have to log in to (with the exception of blackboard).  I created a new page for every science unit that was covered in 4th and 5th grade.  Within the page the students have to list and define key vocabulary, explain key concepts, list noteworthy scientists in this field, write about labs and activities that were done in class, and link resources.  I'm going to show the students in class how to add information and add links to outside sources.  They are going to be responsible for adding to the page at home.  I've created a schedule so they know what page to update and when.  Cross your fingers for good results!  I'll keep you posted about how it goes...
