Cool Cat Teacher Blog• A good teacher never makes excuses. A good

teacher always makes the best of a situation. A good teacher pursues excellence. I will be excellent as I learn from NECC.

The same teachers and technology administrators who learn from NECC virtually are probably also the same ones that teach incredible things on older technology. "Excuse" is not in our vocabulary. "Do it," is.

Collaborative Document Creation


From Software to Web

• Word processor → Google Docs & Wikis

• Spreadsheets → Google Spreadsheets

• Presentations → Thumbstacks

• Inspiration → Gliffy


Blogs vs. Wikis

Web logs are great vehicles for an interactive exchange of ideas between a handful of people, but blogs are not as effective when a large number of people want to collaborate, contribute, and easily find information on a given topic. That's when you need a wiki.

-Tim Stahmer


What is a Wiki?

• A collaborative web tool for two or more people to work on a document

• Wiki-wiki" means "hurry quick" in Hawaiian.


Wikipedia

“According to the web traffic rankings site Alexa.com, Wikipedia ranks second in popularity among all reference sites, trailing only Yahoo and ahead of popular resources such as MapQuest and Encyclopedia Britannica Online. What's more, Wikipedia is the 37th most visited web site overall.” Jan. 25, 2006, eSchool News
