Classroom+Wiki





Description of Our Wiki ** Our classroom wiki is called //Healthy Kids// because it focuses on the content of Health. I decided to make a health wiki because I discovered that my third graders were delighted with learning about food and nutrition and the subject lended itself to explore a variety of interesting projects and assignments for the students such as keeping a nutrition journal, responding to questions using a discussion board, and taking an online poll about thier favorite snack. On our wiki you will find lots of websites that are used for information as well as educational games and student assignments.

I enjoyed exploring the many areas of health and nutrition with my students. We found the websites together and they have learned much more by using the wiki as an educational tool to expand their knoweldge about health. I found myself totally engrossed in this project and found many new and exciting resources- like widgets that have changed the way I will teach health in the future.
