SampleWikis

Below are links to wikis that met or exceeded the targeted criteria for the Resource Wiki Project. The project is intentionally open-ended so that you can design your resource wiki to be a useful tool to your audience. Let the needs of your audience determine what resources you select and how you organize and present the resources. toc =LPLC Information=
 * Maggie clearly describes her LPLC and includes the purpose of the resource wiki and the mission of her school. Also, she included an additional page giving more information about each member of the LPLC.
 * Christine utilized a group picture to convey the information about her LPLC and gave detailed information about each LPLC members.

=Curriculum Strand and Standards=
 * Sam chose a coding system that may look like cursing at first but is actually quite clever and easy to follow. Next to each resource is a series of symbols which reference the simple, easy to follow, yet accurate list of standards at the bottom of the page. (Note that this wiki is a work in progress and only the map resources page currently has resources on it--his team designed the wiki to meet all their needs and plan to continue to build it long after this course is over.)
 * Jake chose to use anchors to link the standards back to the standard page. Click on one of the standards and it will take you to the specific standard.

=Quantity and Quality of Resources=
 * Hattie has rich literacy strategies targeted for teachers in any content area. Select a literacy strategy from the side bar and you will find quality resources hyperlinked within her narrative description of each literacy strategy.

=Description of Resources= Note that if all of your resources are targeted for teachers, you only have to say that once (in an obvious place) and not 20 times, once for each resource. If you organize your wiki by target audience so the page is named "Student Resources" or something else descriptive, then you don't need to say it for each resource.
 * Lisa organized all Web reading resources (teachers, parent, and students) on one page and gave a detailed description for each resource.

=Organizational Structure=
 * Meadow's LPLC consisted of teachers who all teach the same course, so the wiki is organized around the common assignments for the high school creative writing class.
 * Jo's target audience was algebra teachers. The resources were organized around the students' needs: Were they learning a new skill? Did they know the skill but need practice? Did they know the skill so well they were ready for challenging applications?
 * T.J. is a logical sequential thinker and organized his resources in a simple table that spelled out the necessary information in a "logical, sequential" manner. His resource is embedded in a wiki that his PLG (Professional Learning Group) uses on a regular basis.

=Presentation and Mechanics=
 * Andrea, Joyce, Kelly and Stacey built a resource wiki targeting literacy. Because there were 4 people that meant at least 80 resources. They divided the resources into parent, teacher, and student pages. On the teacher page, there were getting to be so many great resources that a viewer could get overwhelmed. So they subdivided the resources by Lesson Plans, Activities, Strategies, Articles and Additional Resources. They used the Table of Contents feature to enhance the navigation on that page.
 * Cindy, Keith, Rhonda, and Stacey created a resources wiki for K-3 math. They divided the 100 resources for parents, students and teachers. Make sure you click on the individual links within the student page and parent page. You will find rich resources for each individual math skill, which are all linked to the standards.
 * Charmaine uses many graphics throughout her resources wiki which enhances the presentation of her project.
