Welcome to the ILEP wiki site for Spring 2014!

Wikispaces Classroom is a social writing platform for education. It is an easy-to-create classroom workspace where you and your students can communicate and work on writing projects alone or in teams. Wikispaces Classroom works great on modern browsers, tablets, and phones. Also a huge positive is that Wikispaces Classroom is free for teachers and students!

Social

• Create a safe, private network for your students
• Connect and communicate using a familiar newsfeed
• Monitor complete history of student discussions, writing, and file uploads

Writing

• Collaboratively edit pages using our visual editor
• Embed content from around the web, including videos, images, polls, documents, and more
• Comment on sections of text or the entire page

• Create individual or group assignments in seconds
• Choose to set assignment start and end dates, or create long-running projects
• At the end of the assignment, automatically publish projects to the entire class or students, parents, or others in your community

We will use this Wiki throughout the remainder of this semester to post our thoughts, pictures, videos, and assignments. In addition to each of our individual pages, we will have some pages that are collaborative in nature. As an example, we will be working on a creative, collaborative writing assignment. Other pages will be more informational and instructional. For instance, we might have a page titled, "Video Tutorials" that could contain embedded videos that demonstrate how to use various technologies.
