About Me
My name is Majen Hammond. I live on the east coast of the USA. I am a middle school teacher who is very interested in the use of online resources for teaching and learning. I feel that it is important for educators to be part of the global educational community. Presently, I have used wikispaces for creating wikis for student use and for teacher resources. I love to learn as much as I can about a specific topic in which I have an interest. That is one of the reasons why I am taking this class.
Goals for Teaching and Learning
- Learn to use Web 2.0 tools in the Classroom
- Have students use wikis and blogs to publish work, to share and to collaborate
- Learn to edit a wiki
- Teach these tools to other staff members at the school where I work
- Share and collaborate with teachers to continue learning
- Create a wiki on Teacher Resources
- Incorporate this wiki content into a Second Life project
Sample Wikis for Teaching and Learning
Collaborative Projects
A collaborative project in the virtual world of Second Life on the teen grid. I work with Naomi Malone to establish a global awareness in the TSL virtual community. The goal of this project is to engage the young people there in the Model UN program.
Classes around the globe will connect and communicate by podcasting.
