Wiki Dissection EL

1. What is the purpose of this Wiki?

Saying what technologies are disruptive and why it could disrupt the class?

2. When was the last post?

November 7, 2007

3. How was this Wiki created?

Wiki Spaces, Presented by Vicky A Davis

4. What would you add to it?

I would add pictures/videos of kids actually being distracted by the technology products.

5.What did you learn from it?

We never knew that graphing calculators could be a distraction. 

6. If you had to create a Wiki with a team, what would be the specific topic (s)?

Cheering, it could say when practice times are and when and where competitions are.

7.How can Wikis be used in the classroom or in education?

Kids can do group projects and not have to actually get together.

Using the Internet, research how a class wiki can be used in education?
Group projects- kids can work on projects together without actually being together. 

What are the benefits of using a wiki?

People can add and delete things and add things on the same document. Nothing will get over ride and deleted.

How can we create one in this class and utilize it?

If we do tech articles in groups it would be easy to do using a wiki

What experience do you have using or creating wikis?

I dont have any.

Do Now 10/28

     If i was invisible for a day I would go over to an old woman's house named Mary. I would clean up her whole yard. I would also leave a bunch of cooked food for her by her door. Since she is disabled this would help her a lot. Her husband is no longer alive so by doing her yard work she doesn't have to do it or pay anyone to do it. By giving her food all she will have to do is heat it up. Mary won't have to spend all her time cooking. Instead she can spend her time on leisure activities.
     I will also drop off all new sewing supplies. It's Mary's favorite hobby. Because sewing is getting expensive she won't have to spend money on it. Also she will not have to drive and risk her's or someone else's life. Because i'm invisible she will not know who did these favors for her. Therefore she can't feel obligated to repay them. This is a nice thing to do and she will appreciate it greatly. She has no one to do this for her because she has no family. It will feel good to do a nice deed.

New Class

Fashion 

     It would be cool to have a fashion class held at FIT in New York City. We would get bused over at 3 o'clock. It would be mostly hands on projects. The students would learn how to use sewing machines and how to hand stitch. They would also learn how to spend their money efficiently when purchasing fabric. It would also be counted as an internship so it would look good on collage applications. 

     Students would meet every Tuesday and Thursday. At the end of the year there will be a final project in which the students will make three outfits and have a fashion show. One casual outfit, one formal outfit, and one work outfit.
