What is a wiki?

According to wikipedia.org, which is itself a wiki, a wiki is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked Web pages. They are often used to create collaborative websites. "Wiki" is a Hawaiian word for "fast."

Watch the short video below for an introduction to wikis in plain English.



Purpose:

  • The purpose of this wiki is to provide an online environment for educators to share their ideas for teaching students Internet safety.
  • Each week, you will be responsible for posting an activity sheet or short lesson plan for each safety standard.
  • Upon completion of the course, you will be able to access your activities/lessons as well as those created by your classmates.
  • The main goal is to provide you with activities and lessons that you can immediately implement in your classroom.

Directions:

  • When you enroll in the GCSD Internet safety course, you will receive an e-mail inviting you to join this wiki. It is a public wiki so it may be viewed by anyone but only members will be able to edit the pages.
  • Each week, you will need to create an activity sheet or short lesson plan based on one of the safety standards.
  • Save your activity or lesson plan as a MS Word document.
  • Go to the page for the appropriate standard and click the "edit" button from the top of the screen.
  • In the table, add your name, intended grade level(s), your document, and a brief description.
  • Please see the Help page if you need help posting your activities and lessons to the wiki.
