Chief Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 Here is a link to Joel's Wiki Site http://www.tanksforteachers.wikispaces.com] If you download the TFT application from the Wiki site, please email to webmaster@pnwmas.org Jay Quote
tidalsculpin Posted August 5, 2008 Posted August 5, 2008 This is an idea we had to organize the TFT program. A wiki is a collaborative site that anyone can join and add to. If you want to participate, PM me with your email. I will invite you to join. Right now the site is viewable by all but edited only by people invited in. So come help me build the site. We could add all kinds of diy links and student activities. Also, we need to list supplies and other materials needed for the program. PM today to help out. site is now: http://www.tanksforteachers.wikispaces.com Quote

tidalsculpin Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 This project is going ok. Kids are learning how to do testing and some are writing reports on different topics. They are all members of the wiki and have taken advantage of the discussion topic section. I have to monitor it quite closely but they are doing pretty well with it. It was an adventure to manage such a forum like place. I feel a bit like a moderator on a forum might feel sometimes. Only thing is I have salt water on my hands while moderating!!! The movies will be starting soon. A few groups are learning imovie and how to plan a topic out. So far so good. Quote
180Brandy Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Good job Joel!!! Does anyone else have any updates? Quote
