And it's super-exciting to use them. There's immediate gratification - one minute, no wiki, the next minute - wiki! It's great that you are getting right into it. I agree that wikis are wicked!

I'm actually a big fan of the counting wiki too! Using wikis to teach young kids math seems to work for those kids other methods cannot reach. Growing up in a home run by elementary school teachers has shown me some of the.... difficulties with teaching certain topics! There are many great creative writing wikis out there. Feel free to email me and I can give you a list of some of the best. Enjoy! Troy Morris Community Evangelist for Wetpaint Kristi,

You have a great attitude about it - take those baby steps (and know you have plenty of support to hold your hand if you need it). Technology is definitely changing the way we can teach, but it should be making it easier, not harder. You have to find what works for you...

Your idea of an audio record of stories, ideas and thoughts of young students is a good one. Let's brainstorm about how it could be managed so it is useful. I am also enjoying the time we spend together talking and learning. As much as we try to make time to touch base and collaborate it seems to happen best when we are working an a project.

I was the only music teacher in the town. I taught at the elementary, junior high and the high school. The web would have been very helpful to me, too. I imagine the way colleges prepare teachers has changed immensely. Miranda Your very first sentence reminded me of how I felt in my first years of teaching. I was the only music teacher in the town.
