Teacher+Wiki+Goals

__**Introduction:**__ I think it would be a good idea for each teacher that would like to develop a Wiki to augment the curriculum to develop a list of goals for the use of the Wiki. These goals should be in support of the District-wide goals. These goals should be general and broad-scoped in nature from which teacher specific Wiki objectives would be developed. I envision that these goals would be published on the Home page or the About page of the Wiki so that they are easy to find and review. Again, I envision that these would be included as a partial requirement for the application process to obtaining Administrative approval to proceed to training and implementation of the Wiki. The design of the Wiki page that would list the teacher's goals for the use of the Wiki could even be one of the tasks that the teacher would complete during his/her training.

//Please feel free to provide some examples below of Teacher Goals for the use of Wikis in the classroom that could be used as guiding examples for the teachers to use.//

1. To engage students in reading and critiquing published material regarding current world events and to facilitate an enriched learning environment. 2. To provide students with the opportunity to share their analysis of data collected from local fresh-water streams and to provide an opportunity for peer review of the data and their results analysis. 3. To provide students with the opportunity to research, create, publish and review content specific to their are of study.
