Hey kid, support your local wiki! has good information on how to introduce kids to local wikis.
Teachers
At this point the wiki hasn't been presented to the school board. If you are a teacher in Davis (or elsewhere else) who has developed a lesson plan that used daviswiki please share it here.
Lesson Plans
Lesson Plan Ideas:
- Fourth Grade History tie in for unit on California History.
- Any grade writing assignment.
- As a tie in for projects like Birch Lane Virtual Tour of Historic Davis.
Classroom Resource
Discussion of ways to introduce the wiki as a resource to students at different grade levels.
- Elementary — Are elementary students ever allowed to use the web? Do they do so at home?
- Junior High — Will the wiki be acknowledged at this level?
- High School — We already have some High School students on the wiki as members. It might be a project to have them participating in editing it, perhaps for a media class?
