Using Dabbleboard for Class Interaction/Assessment

Today I have two English comp classes that will be using Dabbleboard to brainstorm ideas for criteria they use to evaluate information. I've incorporated this feature into the LibGuide for the class. A worksheet is also available for evaluating the information resources they find.

NanoTreking with PBWiki

We had three successful NanoTrek sessions using the free Peanut Butter Wikis.

Students research various nanotechnology topics and posted them to wikis. All the students were new to wikis but PBWiki interface is so easy to use they were quickly adding colors, plugins, and having a great time learning.

The educator's videos and some database research I did on using wikis in classrooms helped me figure out how to incorporate this with our information literacy mission.
