Your Wiki Assignment:
OK, create your wiki!

Here are some things to know and do:

1. Make sure you get rid of the ads!

2. Bear in mind that EVERYTHING you make in class will be included;

3. You can have anything you want on your classroom wiki, but the framework ** must include **, at a minimum, the following:

a. Engaging and exciting front page (one that gives the message of what your classroom is all about!). Leave room for a Blabberize that introduces the site (what you need to know is that is an audio introduction of your website, but you do NOT need to do it now.;

b. A page called "All About Me" (or something to that extent) that introduces who you are as a teacher, a brief educational philosophy, a well-written paragraph or two reflecting your philosophy on integrating technology into your teaching and student learning, and a WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE ME component (you may choose to do this later as a digital story). This is a great place to post a resume, if you have one or are working on one;

c. A "Parent Information" page (to include pertinent information that you would want parents of students in your classroom to know (schedules, your policies, etc.);

d. A "Unit of Instruction" page (this page will include, at a minimum: your Scope and Sequence chart (embedded), COPY AND PASTE of the Unit Outline (below) to use with each of the 10 lessons you will write. DO NOT EMBED this document. You are welcome to put the lessons on ONE page (with one right after another) (example here) OR you can plan to put a link to each lesson (example here).



f. A linked navigation bar (with ONLY these inclusions: Home, All About Me, Parent Information, Unit of Instruction, Cool Websites of the Week).

4. Make sure you have some appropriate and interesting widgets.

** PLEASE REMEMBER ** : this wiki is something you will work on every week, not just for THIS week. So when you turn it in, ALL the content for each component do not need to be complete THIS WEEK. However, the more you do this week, the more time you can commit to the content itself.

** For the FIRST WIKI assignment: **


 * 1) Create the wiki.
 * 2) Create and begin to populate the pages.
 * 3) Copy and paste the Unit Outline into your Unit of Instruction and begin to populate it.
 * 4) Create and populate the navigation bar (exactly as described above).
 * 5) Be sure to open the Rubric found below so you are clear on how you will be assessed for this semester-project.

DO NOT feel like you have to COMPLETE each and every page. OBVIOUSLY, you can't put everything in, BUT you need to get going--this is a HUGE assignment (ultimately, it is your semester project) but you should plan to work on it a little bit EVERY DAY! ===**// This is going to be your final product in this class AND a vehicle to get a job, so this would be where you want to excel in your creativity and efforts. //** ===
