So, Challenge 5 focused on wikis. While I have used wikis with students occasionally over the past couple of years, I never really had an interest in editing on Wkikpedia before now. As I mentioned at the beginning of this blog though, sometimes you have to do things just to show you know how. So I edited the "Stomp dance" article, specifically the Ceremony and Dance grounds sections. I wasn't sure if there would be an article on the topic at all, but I wasn't especially surprised to find that there was. As an active participant in that tradition however, I figured I might be able to contribute at least a little bit to it, and I think I did manage to enhance it somewhat. For comparison purposes, here are links to both the version as I found it and the version after I edited it.
Our Tech Facilitator, Science Specialist and I have talked about possibly setting up a science study wiki, in which students could add content about what they learn throughout the year, and then use it to prepare for the EOG in May. In the meantime though, here is a link to a wiki I used with students as we went through the steps of the research process (Big 6).
