Will Richardson, author of 'Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts and other Powerful Tools for the Classroom', uses this site to assemble useful links for educators, publish articles as well as more informal opinions and information about what he he calls the read/write web.
Semapedia's mission is a bit like AR or ubiquitous computing -- "bringing the right information from the internet to the relevant place in physical space." Participants print out physical "barcodes" which represent information on wikis. These barcodes can be stuck to physical locations and "read" by cell phones to access the pertinent information.
You don't need to be a technology whiz to bring the power of wikis to your classroom, says Punxsutawney Area High School teacher Louise Maine. In a year and a half since discovering the educational potential of this Web tool, she has learned enough to use a wiki as the hub for almost everything she and her science students do. (Read here about how she uses it.)

By spring, nearly all of Brown?s students -- including Baker -- had passed the OGT and demonstrated growth in Lexile reading test scores. In between jobs at fast-food restaurants and school, several were making serious plans to become teachers, underwater welders, construction managers and politicians.
What happened? Technology. Not just any technology, but tools that look and feel like MySpace or Facebook -- integral social networks for most American teens. Using Read 180, a reading intervention program, Brown facilitates differentiated learning for reading and writing through a "wiki," a collection of Web pages and other documents that can be created and edited individually or collectively online.
Weller says new Web tools (such as wikis and video-capture technology) put power in the hands of students, but traditional learning-management systems (such as Moodle and Blackboard) emphasize central control by the learning institutions
LeaderTalk is the first group blog written by school leaders for school
leaders. We hope that our insights and resources are beneficial to P-12
administrators and educational leadership preparation programs.
Educational Origami is a blog, and a wiki, about the integration of ICT into the classroom, this is one of the largest challenges that I feel we as teachers face. Marc Prensky coined the now popular and famous phrase "Digital natives and digital immigrants" in his two papers on digital Children. We the teachers are the immigrants and our students are the natives, brought up in a world where there has always been computers and the internet, where information is always instant and varied.
I made this wiki on request from Miguel Guhlin after I blogged about matching ICT tools to traditional classroom practice and Bloom?s Taxonomy.
