ACTEM presentation: Presentation with David Pearl, Social Studies, at ACTEM, "Wikis that Work: In the classroom How To"
David Pearl and I presented our philosophies of using wikis as classroom platforms at the 2009 [|MAINEducation] conference. We had about 25 people in our session and had a lot of great participation. Our group ranged from people already using numerous tools and looking for tricks that we found to work to people who were just looking for ways to integrate technology into the classroom. Cathy Wolinsky, a tech coordinator at Yarmouth, attended our session which was great because she could also field some of the questions about our Google domain, etc.

This was my first presentation at a professional conference. I found it to improve my practice and my collaboration with David Pearl and Alice Barr. It was a few weeks ahead of the Coallition of Essential Schools Fall Forum conference presentation, so it was great to have it done before my first national conference presentation.
