Last week my district held its annual Computer Camp for Teachers. We worked with the Read/Write Web. I have just finished taking a Web 2.0 course and found so many wonderful resources that I was anxious to share my “finds” with my colleagues. To gather the resources together and make it easily accessible to my learners I developed a wikispace with many links.(My Computer Camp Wiki)
Not only did I have a great time finding resources for my wikispace, I find that I am still adding to it. Today I shared it with the total staff of our district. I asked if anyone else would like to take the three day Computer Class later in the summer using these resources. I have already had three replies from teachers who had taken last week’s class. Apparently they enjoyed the experience as much as I did. I was so impressed with the work that the teachers and ed techs did at camp. Three teachers started blogs for their students and parents and three teachers started webpages chock full of resources for their students’ families. The quality of the work they did was awesome. Other teachers looked for resources for units they teach each year from the links I had provided on the wiki. It was a experience that I am anxious to repeat! It is a joy to work in a professional learning community.
