PE6_Google_For_Teachers&Wikis

What tools would you like to be more proficient in? The tools I would like to be more proficient in are all the Mac Tools but I have opted to use Google For Educators Websites, Google Educator Forums, Google Docs since I have already been doing so in submitting lesson plans in my district and trying to create an interactive web presence for my students in low to no technology business education and exceptional education classes. So far it is not blocked so it is the one tool that will not fail to launch due to workplace, storage or access barriers.


My Google curriculum web page is inactive. I liked to use it to show screenshots and information gained from wikis where my students generated information and were active in authorship since wiki are blocked in-district. 




Here is the web page of one of the wiki I did not set up fully until I find out what type of teacher I would be wether that is a Reading Title I Specialist, Business Technology Educator, Exceptional Educator or a Dodds Instructional Specialist Leader. Students have their own space so that is why I did not do so. Likewise, after so many students you have to pay for them to have authorship and access rights. I had a wiki for all of my BTEClasses in AP Computer Science, Accounting, Broadcast Television Production, Business Communications, Business Computer Applications, Business Essentials, Legal Environment of Business, Research, Design & Project Management, etc.


I am still in career limbo. Nonetheless, wikis are a wonderful and powerful medium to view discovery, exploration, connections and the like of users who become passionate about learning when they find their voice and realize their opinion not only matter but will set their life path when those of like mind gather, share, collaborate and create the future.
