Blogs in the Classroom


 * Teacher Spill Dieterich, an English teacher at Acadiana H.S. in Lafayette, Louisiana, uses blogmeister to create a very well organized site that focuses on the teacher entries in the center then has quicklinks to student work (organized by class) at the right. See it at [|Spill Dieterich's Blog.]

Wikis in the Classroom


 * Teachers Vicky Davis (in Bangladesh) and Julie Lindsay (in Georgia) have created a wiki for their students to work together - across the world - on a project that explores the concept that "the world is flat" (based on the book by Thomas Friedman). This project was completed during Nov-Dec 2006 and has attracted alot of media attention //and awards//. See it at The Flat Classroom Project. By the way...I took their lead and I am using Wikispaces to create this wiki. If you like it, see [|wikispaces.com.]
