February's Space of the Month is a great example of the use of embedded media in an educational Wikispace. Our Space: Our Wikispace has become the central location for all of our instructional activities at Burr and Burton Academy Music Department. It serves to provide our students with unit assignments, research links, audio resources and recently functions as a portal for online assessments. After a little bit of research, we began to integrate flash technology into the site and have enjoyed providing online testing for some of our subjects. Most importantly, we have begun to have our students establish online portfolios for all of their research, projects and assessments. We are able to track their projects over time and monitor their note taking skills via their wiki sites. Our Community: We primarily serve the students enrolled in our courses at Burr and Burton Academy. We are encouraging parents to become active participants in our site and hope to improve communication with our community through the use of this wiki. Our Experience with Wikispaces: I have been looking for a tool to easily integrate technology into my teaching. I have utilized several other resources but have found the wiki to be most effective. It is quick, easy to administer and very customizable. It makes a great tool for committee work and the dissemination of resources for the school as a whole. Wiki is now part of our vocabulary here in Vermont!

These games and simulations, based on Nobel Prize-awarded achievements, will teach and inspire you while you're having FUN!

If you haven't seen this, it is worth a look - This short video helps explain the concept of "Web 2.0" visually. (It can also be found on youtube, but that may be blocked at your district.) http://www.glumbert.com/media/web20
