For my web presence, I am going to set up a Genetic Disorder's and Impairments Wiki with links to websites on genetic disorders and a link to a blog for discussion. What I want to accomplish is for teachers to have a place to go and discuss genetic disorders / impairments, one for each quarter (or a shorter time frame depending on how the first one goes). These will be for disorders / impairments / syndromes that are not common. The first syndrome that I chose to discuss is Klinefelter's Syndrome.
There will be 3 phases of the lesson / learning experience:
- the first is to research the disorder / impairment
- the second is to discuss how the characteristics would impact the child in the classroom
- the third phase is to discuss classroom adaptations to make an inclusive environment for the child.
The wiki will include the directions along with links and other directives for each phase. Once the first disorder is completed, a questionnaire will be incorporated to determine the next disorder / disability to research and discuss would be. There will also be a link to a blog for discussion purposes with a reminder to put the disability being discussed in the label for the post, helping with searching.
Please note that I haven't completed much as of this post - so there really isn't much to view. If you have ideas, please express them so I can incorporate as I work verus rework. Thanks
Good, organized start! Are you going to have the users post their information on the wiki?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be showing the class many things about wikis on Tuesday (since that was expressed in the survey) so, you'll be able to incorporate those things right on your wiki! You also have written a good synopsis of your project. You'll be able to use this as your script for your online presentation that we'll create on Tuesday as well.
Another thought.....you can put the links to the blog and questionnaire right in the "Navigation" links (on the left hand side of your wiki) - click on "edit navigation" and then you'll be able to add the links as text, click on the hyperlink button, then add the URL. Then - click save and the navigation should change on the left.
