Thing 10

I created a new wiki http://exit52.pbwiki.com/ Exit 52 is the name of our High School Winter Guard which I am the director of. I have been trying to find a way to manage all the car pools for our various competitions and have also been trying to find a good way to help the kids keep track of which businesses in town have already bought ad space in the program we are making for the competition we host in February. A wiki was definitly the answer! It was really easy to set up and should make my life a little easier in the near future.
So I posted our competition dates and left space for parents to sign up to drive. I then made a page for kids to jot down ads that have already been sold. Now I just need to get the parents on board. I think I'm probably going to have to make an instructional handout to give to the parents so they can be plugged in to our new Exit 52 blog (http://exit52.blogspot.com/) and the new wiki.
I'm now sure how I will use this in my math class yet but it is just a matter of time I suppose.

When I go to the "Comment on another one of the participant's blogs about anything you think is interesting about their learning and how it relates to yours." part of this assignment I was happy to see that another Math teacher in my building has joined the 23 things group so I visited his blog and left him a note. Make this even more fun knowing that I am not alone in my building on this adventure.
