What in the world is a wiki? It's a software which allows communities to share information fast through the internet. When you create a wikispace you are creating a webpage that could be edited by multiple people. You also have the option to lock pages so that only the owner of that wiki could edit. You could assign privileges to specific members so they can edit pages. Wikis include many cool features to allow us to communicate. One of them is the discussion forums. This is one of my favorite features. A wikispace could have multiple pages. Each page comes equipped with it's own discussion forum. For example, we have a wikispace called BPS ARTS. Within this BPS ARTS wikispace we have the following pages: VISUAL ARTS, MUSIC, DRAMA, DANCE, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT, EVENTS, DOCUMENTS AND HOME.
If you are a visual arts teacher, like me, you might visit the VISUAL ARTS page regularly. You can click on the discussion tab to leave a comment about an upcoming activity at your school, or a request for ideas for your next art project, etc. The next day, another teacher might read your comment and leave you a reply. IT'S ALL ABOUT COMMUNICATION! Let's take advantage of it. Learn how to navigate through our wikispace. Leave your ideas, questions or comments. Share events with the rest of our BPS ARTS community!
