Great Seneca Creek Elementary School Wiki

​Welcome to our experimental Wiki. Over the summer some students (12 are signed up) will explore this forum as a way to collaboratively and hopefully creatively share books they are reading through the use of this and other technology tools and/or websites. As a participant, start small by adding the book cover of a book you read and letting us know why you liked or disliked it in a few sentences (See Mrs. Norris' example on the Book Discussion page).

To get started click on the Book Discussion link to the left of this page. Click the EDIT tab at the top of the Book Discussion page and add your thoughts. Find the end of the last book entry and enter your thoughts and/or comments about a new book or one someone else has read and shared on the Wiki.

As the summer progresses, try the websites below to creatively communicate your feelings about the books you are reading. Then post them on the Wiki for all of us to see and comment upon. The Wiki EDITOR will allow you to link to a website URL, attach a file created in another program, and/or add a widget.

Use these websites and ideas to creatively, tell us about your book and your opinion of it:

-Blabberize- Take a pic of yourself or an item/person that represents your book, upload it to [|Blabberize.com], and tell us about your book

-Voicethread-Create some pics or photos that tell about your book on [|Voicethread] and invite us to comment.

-Voki-Create a Voki of the character in your book. Use the Voki to tell us about your book at [|Voki].

-[|XtraNormal]-Create characters and an animation to tell us about your book.

Make a short movie clip on a digital video cam to tell us about your book and upload the file.

Use photostory to create a slideshow that tells us about your book.

If you have another creative way to share your book, email me and we can chat about it. Lisa_B_Norris@mcpsmd.org
