Wiki+Advice!

**Welcome to our Wikispace!**
Besides being fun to say, a wiki can be fun to use! A wiki is a simple website that can promote transparent collaboration within projects. I'm using this wiki to share the curriculum, but later, we'll use another wiki to collaborate between classrooms. Your students can post images, slideshows, maps, podcasts, videos, PowerPoints, graphs, and tables. Not only can your students articulate their own ideas, they can read, edit, and critically review their peers’ work.

For this curriculum w﻿iki, we're going to keep it easy, and not ask you to edit or add anything. However, several lessons have wiki components and you'll have the opportunity to do more. Don't worry, there's help available, both from a wiki tutorial that we created, and from the Help link (top right of any page).

Brand new to wikispaces? Check out this "map" of a wikispaces page.

Here are the four wikis you will be using.
 * Connecting Kids through Birds
 * This wiki contains the curriculum, and the many of the online resources.
 * Habitat Exchange
 * This wiki is where you will collaborate with other schools about your habitat.
 * Share Your Actions
 * This wiki is where you will show others some of the actions your classroom has taken.
 * BirdSleuth Help
 * Are you lost? Need help? We hope that this wiki will answer any questions you have.
