 * We are working through our project in our** [|**group area**] **on ning. We are building a** [|**wiki**] **that will share some of our 21st centurized lessons, foster collaboration between teachers, as well as provide a platform (network) for welcoming other teachers out of the box with us.

-Developed by teachers for teachers -Teachers are invited to share lesson plans and projects on the wiki -Teachers are encouraged to use information on wiki as a starting point to get ideas and find resources -Teachers who share lesson plans on wiki are also willing to help mentor colleagues who may need help with technology/collaborative efforts. -Ongoing, collaborative PD wiki that will be used as a resource for teachers who are interested in expanding/learning/changing the way they approach teaching in the 21st century. -Support for a staff that is interested in trying new methodology/technology in the classroom -Colleagues add lesson plans/projects to the wiki. Growth can be measured by teachers who request membership and add information. -Colleagues access the wiki for information (counter/sign in/message board?)
 * Project goals:** To create a collaborative resource for our district colleagues. This resource will help teachers find others who are interested in creating collaborative lesson plans and share lesson plans that use 21st century tools in the classroom.
 * Outcomes:**
 * Evaluation:**

__What is the problem/question we will address?__ How do we encourage our busy colleagues to step out of their classroom to embrace 21st century student's learning style & skill sets? Instant network & opportunity for collaboration...

__What are our objectives and assessment?__ Objectives:To create a collaborative resource for our colleague that may be used for PD in our district.Teachers will contribute, post, collaborate and share their lesson plans, projects with each other.Teachers will refer to the wiki as a starting point when attempting to do collaborative projects or use technology in the classroom. Assessment:Collaborative resource= wiki Teacher contribution = teachers will join wiki and contribute to the collaborative resourceHow to quantify "passive" use of wiki-- teachers using it as a reference; starting point but not adding to it?

__Explain the networked design (sharing, collaboration, connection) of project.__ PLP members contribute lesson plans & projects in their individual disciplines to the wiki. organic vs. artificial collaborations & connections Document some of these connections on the Out of the Box wiki Other teachers can get ideas/contribute Tagging is key to using wiki (Inservice to help others use wiki?)
