Wiki+Project+Documentation

=This list represents some of the wikis I have created or co-created (and manage)= =in consulting and research work:=

TPArtsCK (or TPACK and The Arts) This wiki parallels a poster presentation I did with Jordan Mroziak @ ISTE 2011. It was created to include research on the //innovative// use of technology in arts education with specific emphasis on TPACK.

ACE Learning This space was created for the ISTE 2012 presentation, "Making Beautiful Pixels: E-learning Theory Meets Art Theory: ACE Your Presentation and PARC Your Design." There are many other resources for exploring the "art" and effective e-learning practices associated with multimedia design research.

Art in Action

Blogs and Wikis in Higher Education This wiki was created to help assist higher education faculty in using wikis and blogs.

Building Bridges through Project Art Smart This workshop has been created for the participants of the Building Bridges Through Art Smart. It serves several purposes: to provide an overview of wikis as a web 2.0 tool, to explore the educational uses of wikis and to provide an opportunity for participants to learn the basics of creating a wiki.

Differentiated Presenting A space dedicated to the notion of creating "differentiated presentations" - think "learning dialogues" (versus lectures) which are designed to keep the participant //on-topic and on-task// while allowing them to //self-differentiate// during a presentation according to interests, multiple intelligences, learning styles, or personal learning goals. Notice the emphasis on the letters "IF" in our logo. We ask you to consider this question: //What would happen to the world of teaching and learning IF we all began to facilitate learning in this manner?//

Digital Storytelling Adventures This workshop will allow educators to explore digital storytelling resources and tools for creating authentic digital stories (such as Photostory 3, Storybird, Tikatok and Voicethread). Participants will also explore important fair use and Creative Commons considerations in using images and other contextual material used in the creation of digital stories. Other resources will be shared through a wiki including digital storytelling social networking groups and screencasting as a recording and documentation tool.

Everything Osborne This space was created for Osborne Elementary School faculty and staff. I worked with the principal helping to advise her on a rationale for the wiki (i.e. archiving documents, sharing teacher resources, creating a collaborative environment, documenting uses for teacher wikis in the building), how to edit the wiki, encouraging ownership of the space, etc.

Gateway to The Arts Summer Institute Wiki

Higher Ed Wikis

Instructional Technology for Educators Welcome to this //**Instructional Technology**// resource page for graduate pre-service education students. This group wiki site has been created as a collaborative resource for wiki technology and education. You will find resources pertaining to wikis, wiki design, examples of sites, resources, brainstorming ideas for teacher/student assignments, how to edit wikis and journal articles/books that pertain to wiki design and learning. The second heading on the wiki (Media Literacy Education) includes information that all pre-servce education students should know about media literacy education including Creative Commons, general resources, specific media resources (audio, video images, tutorials and texts ), fair use, and copyright and appropriating materials online are all included in this wiki.

Mercyhurst College Aesthetic Education Institute This wiki was created to document all aspects of the summer institutes.

Mercyhurst College Art Education Program This wiki was started in collaboration with my assistants to house program materials, archive events, conference presentations and student activities and include all aspects of program information.

Mercyhurst College National Art Education Student Chapter This space was created in collaboration with the student officers to showcase conference information, house archive information, the activities calendar, meeting minutes, projects and member to do lists.

Abraham LincolnMagic This was a space created to document a collaborative CAP Leader session at the Pennsylvania Governor's Institute for Arts Educators. AbrahamLincoln Magic (ALM), the avatar from SecondLife, is an imaginary character which inspired the creation of two machinima pieces. He also inspired this wikispace. Follow a team of arts educators who participated in the 2008 Governors Institute for Arts Educators CAP's Leadership Group, and their adventures in creating an imagined historical persona: AbrahamLincoln Magic, scripts for two scenes, and filming of the character in the 3D virtual world of SecondLife. See "Story Behind My Second Life for machinimas." Perhaps you would like to use AbrahamLincoln Magic to inspire research into the historical figure of Abraham Lincoln, or you would like your students to imagine what Lincoln might be like if he were alive today. There was also a presentation (i.e. Imagining a SecondLife: Avatars and Inquiry) involving AbrahamLincoln Magic, a SecondLife incarnation of our 16th US President that involved learning how MUVEs and Web 2.0 technologies can enhance and enrich historical inquiry. There was also a gallery event that showcased the project. Also see "machinima resources." Also see ALM's blog.
