Program Description   Hyperlinked writing is the most powerful form of writing because it permits authors and readers to connect words to a variety of other ideas and multimedia files on the Internet. In this session we'll introduce the basics of getting started with hyperlinked writing. We'll learn to critically evaluate content on WikiPedia and edit WikiPedia articles, create and edit our own hyperlinked pages on a free educational wiki site, and explore options for creating professional as well as classroom blogs for students.
Program Format   This videoconference session is a guided exploration and demonstration of both hyperlinked writing possibilities including wikis and blogs. An extended discussion about WikiPedia and its potential constructive uses for research and media literacy development will also be included. If participating teachers have laptops, the wiki curriculum can be used as a portal for the content and techniques addressed in the workshop.
Objectives   The participant will:
- explore and understand the comparative benefits of WikiPedia to traditional encyclopedias
- learn how to properly edit a WikiPedia article and annotate edits, as well as participate in article discussions
- view and explore examplary classroom blogs and wikis
- learn how to set up a classroom wiki and blog
- learn why discussion about and practice of hyperlinked writing is essential to cultivate digital citizenship skills as well as literacy skills
