ISTE Standards (Standard 1 is assumed for most technology projects) |
Students in several South Dakota middle schools investigated the quality of the Missouri River by collecting data. The compiled data was then posted on a wiki for the other schools, researches at a local University, government policy makers, and the community at large. |
Middle school science students |
Wiki (Twiki) |
No |
The students directly collected data, and they were involved in the creation of web articles.The technology is used to diagnose a problem relating to an overall theme, so it rates a 4A. | Standard 2: Students were involved in a human issue (the environment) |
|
| This site teaches students about specroscopy through a wiki. Students can research background information or even edit and contribute articles. | Undergraduate Chemistry students |
Wiki, some Flash or other animations |
No |
The students who are merely collecting information from the web are working at a low level (LOTI 2) but students who actually help maintain articles can be at LOTI 4A. | Standard 3: Students produced documents about spectroscopy Standard 5: Students used a wiki to research and learn about spectroscopy |
|
| Molecular Biology Course Wiki page at UMBC | Students created individual and group wiki projects, a wiki glossary, and a wiki journal. | Undergraduate and Graduate Biology students |
Wiki (Mediawiki) |
No |
Students are creating a variety of projects and the instructor has interwoven the use of the wiki into many layers of the course. This routine use is at level 4B. | Standard 3: Students created a variety of projects and documents in the wiki Standard 5: Students use the wiki for reference (glossary) |
