100th Day of School Wiki

Saw a wonderful idea on Classroom 2.0 yesterday, and plan to try a similar version at Paine Primary School. I have created a "100th Day of School" Wiki, and will assign each of the 100 days to a different class or staff member in the school. Those people will take a picture of a collection of items of interest to them that equals the number day that they have been assigned. (For example, if my class had day 54, we would take a picture of 54 coins if we had been studying money.) Then they add it to the Wiki, along a question that is related to the item. Finally, they will look through the pictures posted for the days before theirs, and answer any of the questions posed by the posters that they wish.

First Week...

Time has been flying by... Students arrived on August 11th and library classes began August 15th. My K-2 students are learning how to save their place on the shelf as they check out books, and I am currently planning a professional development for our faculty about how to use SharePoint. We plan to offer basic training for our new teachers, and some more meaty offerings for our faculty ready to dive into Wikis and Blogs... These wonderful web 2.0 tools are finally starting to take off in our schools. It is very exciting to watch...
