Friendly - Wetpaint Wiki Paint Splatters This video is the best tutorial I've seen on how to use an interactive (wiki) web site. It's professionally done, easy to follow, and engaging to watch. I noticed that from school the youtube.com video doesn't always show up. Try this url if you can't see the image: http://youtube.com/watch?v=-dnL00TdmLY
Friendly - Wetpaint Wiki Paint SplattersInterested in starting a classroom wiki or blog? Check out some of these resources to help you get started (If you know of a resource and don't see it here, please add it by using the EasyEdit feature - that's what makes wikis so cool!):

  • This wiki walk through offers some wiki-basics and features three wiki host sites specifically for educators. This is what Teachers First wrote in the January news letter where this link is provided: "TeachersFirst has just completed a revision of our Wiki Walk-Through, now including thorough comparison reviews of THREE different wiki tools, so you can find the one best-suited to your needs. It is not often that you have a choice of three free, ad-free tools for your students to actively learn and collaborate. No forms to fill out, no grants to beg for…don’t you wanna wiki? (If you have no idea what a wiki is, now is the time to find out…)"

  • Wetpaint central is the wiki-support center for wetpaint sites. This site has lots of tips, a wiki sandbox for experimenting with Easy Edit features, and a help center. Wetpaint offers ad free webpages for educators. You can learn more by clicking here.

I've had good experiences with classblogmeister.com for setting up blogs to use with students. The interface is quite clunky compared to what kids are used to with myspace or facebook, but every post can be previewed by me before it goes live and the reluctant readers and writers who have used it with me have been enthusiastic about sharing their thoughts as readers when others in their classs can comment. Contact me if you have any questions! Chris Gustafson, Whitman Middle School

  • These little splatter bullet points come from paint splatters, a website with design tools and buttons. I usually just copy and paste them in. This link will take you to the page for "friendly" design, but you can navigate their menu and find other items, like push-pins, arrows, and more.
