** 21st Century Learning and Teaching **

 * The high school participated in the Classroom For The Future program. Twenty-eight math, science, English, and social studies teachers have completed online courses about 21st Century learning through Wilkes University's Embedded Learning program. The enthusiasm to integrate technology into the curriculum has spread to other staff members and many teachers now have their own web sites, wikis, and blogs which are used to support the curriculum**

Consider Using a Wiki

 * **For a Class Web Page--**Wikis can be a valuable, class specific resource. Teachers can upload a class syllabus, expectations, homework assignments, lecture notes and powerpoint presentations, handouts, study guides, etc. They can also include links to useful websites that relate to the class.
 * **For Discussion Boards--**Wikis can be used to host online discussion topics that reach beyond classroom walls...even across curriculums and countries!
 * **For Collaborative Projects--**students can use wikis to create and manage group presentations and projects. No longer will you hear "so and so isn't here today and he has all our stuff." In fact "so and so" can now be held accountable for contributing from HOME if absent during a group work day! This type of online collaboration can even cut down on the amount of class time spent working on group projects. Homework can become less isolated and more collaborative as students can connect with their teacher and peers anytime, anwhere!
 * **For Electronic Portfolios--**because many types of files can be uploaded to a wiki, students can create individual wikipages to host their work. Students can easily upload photostories, movies, podcasts, powerpoints, word documents, google earth projects and other files.
 * **For Peer to Peer Sharing--**because postings can be viewed by other wiki members, students can learn from each other and review and respond to each others work.
 * **Because it's all the rage!** Wikispaces alone just announced that this month they gave away their "100,000th free wiki for K-12 education". Wow! This amazing tool is growing so quickly in usage - flexibility, efficiency, collaboration, continuous editing all in your wiki!
