The Wonderful World of Wikis
Manage episode 155210731 series 1150039
Each and every morning the televised announcements are delivered live on channel 10 closed circuit to the students, faculty and staff at Wilder Middle School. Everyone in the building is able to get real time information regarding up and coming events, important reminders, sports updates, weather, yada… yada… yada… However, since the morning announcements are delivered via. closed circuit they are only viewable “in house”. This in-turn, causes for a large part of the community outside of the school building to miss out on pertinent information and updates occurring at the school. Wikispaces to the rescue! The students at Wilder have developed a wiki that connects the news to the world at large. The wiki houses the pre-recorded video, canned video segments, the podcast (which can also be downloaded from the iTunes store), and typed transcipts for the week. It acts as a bridge to the outside world and allows for parents and the community at large to know what is happening right now as well as down the road. Here is a link to the WUWW wiki:
