=Wikis as a Platform for Professional Development=

Wikis?- What's it all about?: http://emergingedtech.wikispaces.com/
An experiment in professional development to teach about wikis using a wiki! Marginally successful.

1:1 Science Collaborative Workshop: http://1to1science.wikispaces.com/
The first content specific professional development wiki that was used for a workshop. Participants learned to use a wiki to collaborate on a hands-on science experiment (density). We intended to write lab reports but did not get as far as we intended as the participants learned a lot about wikis- not just implementation of their use into science.

==Leading Innovation 2009: http://leadinginnovation09.wikispaces.com/ Actual wiki used for Immersion Session: http://leadinginnovation09.wikispaces.com/Teaching+and+Learning+in+a+1-1+Environment%2C+An+Immersion+Experience==

The Leading Innovation 2009 Institute was held at the Friday institute. In this Institute a Immersion Session focused on the civil rights era was piloted. Participants hunted for artifacts from the civil rights era on the web and then created a virtual museum representing the events (the artifacts).
