Exploring Key Topics in Education

Each of the groups will be assigned a topic for the first part of the course. Your task as a group is to develop a WIKI on this given topic. Think of yourself as being “experts” who will introduce this topic to the other groups in your class. As you will see these topics will be relevant for the overall lesson-plan assignment as well.

As part of this project, you will be submitting your WIKI to Michigan State’s Educational Technology Conference (held on November 16th, 2013). Proposals are due on September 1st, 2013. Click here to view the submission form.
This WIKI should consist of a series of pages, broadly described below:

A summary page on the front end of the WIKI that offers an introduction to the topic. This page should address issues of definition, categorization, broad themes, etc.
This broad description should link to a set of sub-pages that offer an annotated list of key online resources about that topic. The goal is to not link willy-nilly to any resource out there but rather to gather quality resources that could be useful to someone seeking to learn more about the topic (or sub-topics) brought up in the first page.

Our group had developing information literacy, technology skills (in students). Please click the picture to go to the website.
