Hi everyone. We are going to use this as our class Wiki starting in Unit 1 (next week). For now, just sign up to be a member of this Wiki by clicking on "Join this Wiki" to the right of this window (at the top). Follow the directions and if you have any trouble, let us know about it in the **Say Hi** area of this Blackboard site.

Before you get too far along, you might want to watch this YouTube explaining Wikis [|see YouTube]

I'm not exactly sure how we will use this site. Be patient, we will learn together. If we have an Wiki experts in the class, please introduce yourself!

For now, lets just see if we can use this Wiki to keep a class information list --- on this page! Add your information when you are ready.

money allows :) || My students and I created a wiki to go with one of our novels last year. It wasn't the best but it was a lot of fun and very engaging! So, I know how to do some stuff and my class is getting ready to begin one this year. I try and learn from them! || || Illustrator I am a Library Media Major. Do I need the entire Adobe Suite? No, Just Illustrator or Fireworks || I just watched the video and it really helped. This is fun. I may try it with my students, too. || weekend. Great! || I finally made two line drawings, but I feel like they are silly! How is everyone else doing? (this is Linda -- I encourage you to pick some instructional topic that would benefit from a line drawing. You might want to "trace" over parts of the image. Here's a quick PPT file that might give you an idea [] (if this opens but doesn't show images, copy and paste this address directly into your browser). An image like a heart is a good image to try. Hope that helps. Did you like Inkscape? || || Adobe Creative Suite || Hi everyone. I have used wikis some at school but did not have any luck getting anyone to play along. I ordered my Adobe Creative Suite program and can't wait for it to get here. I think I may download the 30 day trial version of illustrator so that I can get started! ||
 * **Your name** || **Software you will learn** || **Experience with Wikis** ||
 * Linda Lohr || Illustrator and Inkscape || Only what you see here ||
 * Wendy Eades[[image:cartoon.jpg width="53" height="56" align="left"]] || Illustrator 8 || I made two wiki's for a Professional Development course but I haven't used them. ||
 * Tasha Tolbert || Inkscape and maybe Illustrator if
 * Marcia Dietemann
 * Carin Barrett || Illustrator and Inkscape || Only peripherally; several teachers at my school use it as a place to post assignements, etc. ||
 * Dawn Lewallen || Inkscape (for now) ... will try to also learn Illustrator. || Within the classroom (class assignments) and via a work committee. ​Purchased a copy of Adobe CS4. As soon as it arrives will switch from Inkscape to Illustrator. I like ​Leslie's idea of using wikis for work related groups such as leadership team. ||
 * Tasha T. || I just played with Inkscape ALL
 * Tasha T. ||  || I do like it so far, but I have nothing in comparison! It was super frustrating. I didn't think I would ever be able to make an S! But slowly but surely( days, not even hours!)...now I have a book! Tasha, it does take days not hours. But, if you keep at it you will find that in the future you are able to do tasks in 1/2 the time it takes others. I promise! The pen tools is particularly difficult to master. ||
 * Laura Farr || Inkscape || I use wikis in my classroom to enhance math literacy and group learning. ||
 * Dawn Schafer || Illustrator || I started to use wikis one year after I had first learned about them, but I did not find a useful way to use it in my classroom. I already have a website, and we have Google Docs at our school, so I could not figure out the best way to use it. ||
 * JodyMudd
 * Leslie Rich || Adobe CS4 || Hey everyone! I have used wikis numerous times ober the past year to work on things with the leadership team at my school. It cut back on the number of emails I had to answer, at least for that team. ||
 * Sarah Demmel || Illustrator CS4 || What's a wiki? ;) This is my first experience and I'm excited! ||
 * Elizabeth James || Adobe Fireworks || Just do it!!! I took a couple of looks at this whole thing, but was apprehensive to jump in until I had the time to really give it time and justice...so today, I'm doing it!!! ||
