I have been working on a few items over the last couple of weeks. First, I have been updating my wiki to meet the entire STEP I requirements. I added titles, technology standards, reflections, and summaries where it was needed. In the next few weeks, I plan to go through the wiki with a fine-tooth comb and add more creative objects—including adding more items to “My Favorite Hyperlinks” page.
The Government HSA is going really well. I am having my ESOL students taking LSN Government utilize the site for their end of the year review—they will be taking the HSA next week. They were given an assignment many weeks ago to use the wiki to answer questions and review for the Government HSA. The latest tool I have found is http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/. This site allows you to make quizzes/assessments and embed them into wikis. I put quizzes for each Government unit to help my students. I would like to incorporate this site into my teaching next year on a regular basis.
