Brainstorming

 Alyssa Murch- I plan on teaching junior English. As a teacher, I would use a Wiki website to create portfolios about key characters in novels my class was reading. For example, before reading "The Crucible", I would create profiles for character like John Proctor and Abigail Williams. Before the students read the book, they would get online and learn about these characters to give them a solid understanding of them before the any actual reading began.

Megan Smiddy- I am going for elementary education. I want to teach 1st grade. Wiki will be a great tool for me and the other 1st grade teachers to stay together on lesson plans. It also can be a source to keep in touch with my students' parents and what we are working on in the classroom.  Lance Hill - I plan to teach biology in the high school level. Wiki would provide a place where i can post ideas and other links for my class to look at to stay more involved with class. Also it would previde a place for me to put up activities for my class to participate in throughout the week.

Jenny Headrick - I will also be an Agricultural Education teacher for high school stuents, and possibly 8th grade students as well. I could see using a wiki for each individual classroom to have links to alternate resources whenever they need access. It could also be used so that students could check out what is going on in other classes to help generate interest in taking other ag classes. The FFA chapter could also post upcoming events and have an open forum to discuss new ideas for fundraising, events, carpooling, etc.

Chris Ivy - My goal is to become an Agriculture Education teacher. I can see myself using this program to keep track of my CDE events for my chapter. Also I will use this tool to post important links for my students. Some examples would be sites for their current events, links to FFA pages, and application templates.

Tara Goike-I want to eventually be a highschool English teacher. I think that the wiki would be helpful when posting assignments, and even a syllabus, and I also think it would be helpful if students wanted to post papers, and their classmates could peer edit. I think this would help everyone stay on the same page and they could even help eachother out by posting comments. Kathryn Shore- In my future high school English classroom, I will be able to apply the Wiki to group assignments. Students can use the information to communicate with one another. Students can even use the wiki to present their work to the class. Also, if I am a sponsor of a high school organization such as Key Club or Student Council, the members can use the wiki to organize an event.

Morgan Churchwell- I would like to teach a 5th or 6th grade English class. I hope that I will be able to use Wikis to strategically organize my lesson plans when we go over different novels or short stories, helping me stay on top of things. I would also maybe like to use Wikis in order to let students get on the site and participate in group discussions over the stories they have read.

Kayeleigh Stallings-I plan to teach a high school course. A wiki would provide a place for me to post articles from science journals for my students to read and discuss. I could create mandatory class assignments or extra credit opportunities for students to work on outside of class.

Ashley Brown: In a highschool english class setting, a wiki would be excellent in posting class information such as literary works and viewing student's responses and comments. It would also be convenient for students to interact in a class project on wiki by responding through posting ideas and questions. This allows students to work on a project while allowing a teacher to follow along in their progress. Wiki would also be great for students to post assignments such as a composition paper so they can compare and comment as well as the teacher giving corrections or ideas. ======

Ashley Reeder -- I have learned that right now in the K-12 setting, wiki's are being used mostly as development workshops and a communication tool for parents. This seems like it would be useful but what I would like to see is the wiki being used as a tool for the students as well, possibly a place where they can collaborate on group projects or a question forum if they don't understand something that they have been assigned. ======

Jacob McLafferty - I plan on teaching physical education for K-12 and become a basketball coach. I can use wikispaces to post practice times and game information. For P.E. class I can post projects, lessom plans and communicate to other teachers and the students parents.

Monica Neel- My goal is to teach high school English. A wiki website would be very helpful when it comes to writing papers. Students could share where they have found credible sources and add direct links to these pages. Also, I could post helpful hints and information to help them as they write their papers. Also, this would be a great tool for study guides for tests. As a teacher, I could create a discussion board like this one, where students could answer each others questions and I could post helpful hints for success on their tests.

Melinda Morris- I plan on teaching at the elementary level. I think that using a Wiki could be helpful to the parents of the children to know what is going on in my classroom. Children at that small age may not remember exactly what an assignment is, or exactly what I (the teacher) had said so the parents could go to my Wiki site designed for my class. This would be an excellent way to communicate with the children's parents and make sure that they know of everything that is going on!
