Wiki blog presentation
- 1. Wikis, Blogs, and Web Publishing Presentation by Beverly Rigby
- 2. Wikis What is a Wiki? • A wiki is a website that shares information, that people can comment on and edit. • http://dramaintegration .wikispaces.com/ Benefits • It gives the students an interactive learning experience. They can relate more to this type of learning. • I will be using my wiki to give ideas for arts integration in my school.
- 3. RSS Benefits - Allows you to see the stories in chronological order as soon as they are published. - It keeps you current on what is happening on your favorite sites. - You can use newsfeeds on your wikis and blogs as well.
- 4. Blogs What is a Blog? A blog is a website that offers information, shares experiences, and gives opinions. Whereas a wiki has many authors, the blog has one author, who is constantly posting. http://alzheimersx2.blogspo t.com Benefits - It allows an author to share unique experiences with many readers. - It is searchable through labels and the blog can contain links to other blogs and websites for further information.
- 5. Power Point What is PowerPoint? Powerpoint is a visual presentation that uses a series of slides to provide information. The slides can contain text, pictures, and videos. http://www.slideshare.net/t inybev1/smoky-park Benefits - Allows for attractive, easily accessible presentations for a variety of audiences. - Great for teachers to use in instruction, and also for students to use as a visual aid in oral presentations.
- 6. Course Reflection Accomplishments - I was always intimidated by the thought of starting websites or blogs. No longer. - I am proud of my wiki and blog, but they are still a work in progress. Challenges - The hardest part was trying to post files/websites to the DCIU website. It wouldn’t let me copy and paste. I spent way too much time on that. - Not happy that Glogster advertised free APP and it’s not. I wanted to do an interactive poster and had to ditch that.
- 7. The Future • I want to continue developing my arts integration wiki, so that I can share ideas with my staff. I want to add the RSS feed from Kennedy Arts Center to the wiki. • I plan on continuing my Alzheimer’s blog. I haven’t invited people to share yet. I still want to add videos, links to other sites and an RSS feed from Alzheimers.org. • Thank you Mr. Kiker. Sorry if I drove you crazy, but I am just a beginner.
