**Sharing Your Integration Ideas**
For this activity on wikis and to become familiar with using a wiki, we will each contribute to this chart as a way of sharing our wiki integration ideas. As people add their thoughts and information you can see how wikis can be a powerful place for students in your class, in your school, in our district and globally to collaborate on projects.

Complete the chart below to share your idea for incorporating wikis into your curricular area.
 * Descriptive title for idea/lesson
 * Summary of idea/lesson, including grade-level and content area
 * Ohio Content Standard(s) targeted through the lesson/idea

To EDIT the page and add your information to the table, click on the top right on the EDIT THIS PAGE button. You will see an editor pop up and now you will be able to type on the page. It is just like a regular WORD editor, you can bold, italic, color and make hyperlinks! DON'T BE SCARED, you will not ruin anything--we can always pull a back up page!

Everyday Grammar Goofs ||= __**SUMMARY - INCLUDING GRADE AND CONTENT AREA**__

High School - Language Arts: Students will look for any grammar mistake out in the public or in print. Students will submit the grammar mistake with its correction to the class wiki. The wiki will be used as a resource for everyday grammar mistakes and corrections. ||= __**OHIO CONTENT STANDARDS TARGETED**__

Demonstrate understanding of the grammatical conventions of the English language. || Students will reserach a place in Ohio and gather information, possibily in a blog format, on the site's past and present. Using photos, personal journals from visiting the site, interviews and research students will create individual pages depicting the transformation of this placein Ohio over time. ||< Students will obtain information using a variety of resources, use primary and secondary sources to answer questions about Ohio's history, construct a timeline of events, geographical skills, explain effect of growth pattern on one particular area, and the effect of human and environmental interaction. || This wiki will be another tool for collaborating with teachers and assisting them with learning about the integration of technology into their content areas. Other tools to be used with staff include podcasts and blogs. The wiki will allow staff to create a wiki covering the tools they use in class and how they use them with their students. This will allow other staff to see how their peers are using technology and hopefully share and try new technologies in their content areas. Additionally we will include students in the project as they can assist the teachers in implementing the technology in the classroom. ||< I prefer not to use the outdated Ohio Technology Content Standards but instead focus on 21st Century Skills and the ISTE NETS-S and ISTE NETS-T standards. || F. Explain how energy may change form or be redistributed but the total quantity of energy is conserved. 17.Demonstrate that thermal energy can be transferred by conduction, convection or radiation (e.g., through materials by the collision of particles, moving air masses or across empty space by forms of electromagnetic radiation). A. Participate in and apply the processes of scientific investigation to create models and to design, conduct, evaluate and communicate the results of these investigations. 5. Develop oral and written presentations using clear language, accurate data, appropriate graphs, tables, maps and available technology. 6. Draw logical conclusions based on scientific knowledge and evidence from investigations. Grade Level Indicators (Grade 10) 2. Present scientific findings using clear language, accurate data, appropriate graphs, tables, maps and available technology. 4. Draw conclusions from inquiries based on scientific knowledge and principles, the use of logic and evidence (data) from investigations. || I haved created the Wiki Page: [] || This will work for LA and Technology standards. ||

 * < Kevin Graham ||< Lost on Everest, Exploring Insulative Properties of Different Fabrics ||< This is a modified version of a lesson plan that I found on the Ohio Resource Center, developed by [|PBS Nova]. Students fill balloons with water, and then wrap the balloons in various fabrics, with thermometers inserted through the opening. Balloons are placed in a freezer and the insulative properties of the various fabrics are measured. In my take on this, students will wiki there results and collaboratively design design a clothing line for cold weather wear. Since this is wiki based, I would also collaborate with other classes of students from wherever possible. Using a site like http://www.teachade.com/, should allow effective links to other teachers willing to participate in the project. ||< **Physical Sciences Benchmarks (9 - 10)**

 * Hillary Zurface || Styles of art || The class will be divided into groups. Each group will given their own wiki space and assigned a 'style of art' - abstract, cubism, expressionism, Impressionism, Pop Art, Realism, Surrealism, Pointillism or Primitivism. Each group will collaborate via their wiki bringing example images, artists and an explanation of what their style is along with a background of how and when it was developed. Once collaboration is complete the students will present their findings in a final compilation via the class wiki for all students to see, and comment on. || grades 9-12 Analyzing and RespondingA ||
 * Teresa Leo || Cell Phones in Schools || A class Wiki Page will be created and students will debate the pros and cons of students having a cell phone in school. This will used as a writing assignment for students in grades 8-10 in my computer lab class. Students will need to do some research to back up their opinion on cell phones.
