Wiki+Rationale

Every year that I teach I try to add elements to my curriculum that will improve my students' overall experience in Academic English 10. I add activities that I believe will be relevant to the students, as well as help prepare them for their futures. I gather these ideas from a variety of places. For example, I collaborate with my colleagues, I conduct research on my own, I learn from my previous successes and failures with lessons, but most importantly, I learn from the graduate courses that I have taken. Many of these graduate courses have been aimed at improving my teaching so that my students are receiving an education that will prepare them for the global economy and make them successful in the 21st century. One of the most important ways that these courses teach teachers to do this is by integrating higher order technology into their curriculum.

With the advancement of technology, communication between individuals has become so much easier. Therefore, I felt that I should try to use this technology to stay in contact with my students and their caregivers. That is why I created this wikispace. Its main goal is to create a way for students and caregivers to stay informed about what is happening in the classroom. People's lives are hectic today and spare time is something that is difficult to come by. Because of this, communication during school or business hours is sometimes impossible. However, this wiki allows a way for people to stay informed about Academic English 10 at any hour of the day or night.

This wikispace is also a great tool to obtain resources that will help with the Academic English 10 curriculum. Students can join this wikispace by creating an account at wikispaces.com. In order to do this, students will need an active email account.
