Teaching2Learn

Why Teaching2Learn? I believe that in the process of teaching we also learn a lot. I not only give knowledge to the students I work with, I gain knowledge in the process. When I finished my undergraduate degree I thought I was done learning. I was leaving college behind and going on to the real world of work. However, the learning was just beginning. I'm doing things now that I never would have thought possible, like teaching students how to add information to wikis, using pathfinders for assignments, and creating presentations with others across the state using GoogleDocs. Would you like to try creating a wiki? The website wikispaces.com (http://www.wikispaces.com/) works great and it is free. Take a look at the wiki I recently created for use by an 8th grade Language Arts class: http://annefrankpathfinder.wikispaces.com/ Enjoy and give it a try!
