We will be using this Practice Wiki to work with these sharing tools.

Overview of Wikispaces:

Let's look at the basics for how to use Wikispaces. If you want to learn more, my Blogs and Wiki class will go more in depth. If you are not in those classes, you can still go through the online class entitled Blogs and Wiki's.

Let's take a few minutes in your Practice Wiki - Specifically click on your Edit tab and spend a few minutes playing with the Editor Bar

media type="custom" key="4000837"

Now let's learn about the term **Embedding** - which originated from the concept of Compound Document:

media type="custom" key="3999321" This is an example of a web page (in this case Wikipedia) Embedded into this wikispaces page.

The ability to embed a website, video, documents, audio, demonstrations, etc. gives you the power to open a window through your website to a specific piece of content on another site. As an educator embedding can open up the use of site like You Tube that have great educational content, but also some questionable content. By embedding just the video you need for your lesson you protect yourself and your students.

What is [|Teacher Tube]?

 After beta testing for almost two months, [|TeacherTube] officially launched on March 6, 2007. Our goal is to provide an online community for sharing instructional videos. We seek to fill a need for a more educationally focused, safe venue for teachers, schools, and home learners. It is a site to provide anytime, anywhere professional development with teachers teaching teachers. As well, it is a site where teachers can post videos designed for students to view in order to learn a concept or skill. [|TeacherTube] was the idea of Jason Smith, a 14-year veteran educator. Jason has been a teacher, coach, campus administrator and district administrator in public schools. He asked the question, "Why can't teachers, students, and schools utilize the power of the read/write web for learning?" To overcome barriers, he decided to just create a site and get started trying to help. He turned to his brother, Adam, who is a younger, digital native, with technical skills. Adam used his skills to develop the site and found a web host. Soon, Jason's wife, Jodie, joined the team to start populating the site with videos and help improve the communication. She too has 14 years of experience in education as a classroom teacher, campus technology integrator, and district curriculum coordinator. Most importantly, [|TeacherTube] community members are a major part of the evolution of the site. Members are encouraged to not only upload educationally relevant videos, but also to make constructive comments and use the rating system to show appreciation for videos of value to one as an educator or learner. Users also have the ability to preserve the integrity of the site by flagging inappropriate videos. [|TeacherTube] staff review flagged sites and will remove any inappropriate posts. With more collegial commentary and discussion through messaging and responses, the quality of this resource will only increase.

 * Similarities between YouTube and TeacherTube**

Now that you have a feel for YouTube, some features of TeacherTube should come easier to you. Let's take favorites first. You add a TeacherTube to your favorites list the exact same way as in YouTube.


 * Step 1:** Search for Pre Algebra and choose a video


 * Step 2:**

 * Step 3:**

media type="custom" key="4007683"

Now let's look at embedding. The process is identical to the process with YouTube, except in Wikispaces select TeacherTube instead of YouTube.


 * TeacherTube Channels**

TeacherTube has handled channels differently from YouTube in that TeacherTube has historically used channels to break into subject areas like Science, Math, Elementary, High School and so on. Recently they have started to add dedicated channels that more closely resemble how YouTube has used the channel concept.

 * Unique offerings by TeacherTube**

TeacherTube has grown to be more then just a video site for teachers. TeacherTube now offers many other types of media including audio, documents, photos, and blogs. These are still relatively new additions but over time they show great promise.

 * TeacherTube Activity**

I would like you to take the next twenty minutes to explore the TeacherTube site and search for content that you could use in the future. Your goal is to find 5 pieces of media that could help your instruction (teacher) or my help you on a future project (student).
 * Step 1:**

Embed at least 1 of your videos from TeacherTube into your Wiki page.
 * Step 2:**

 * Bubbl.us** **- Online Brainstorm Site**

media type="custom" key="4011267"
 * Overview:**

We are going to build a concept map around the Executive Office of the President. List each of the councils and the members that make up the council. I have started an example for you listing the Council of Economic Advisers. Your goal is to list all of the entities that exist within the Executive Office of the President.
 * Activity:**

Use this website to gather your information: []



The great thing about bubbl.us is that it gives you many options in how you can use the concept map. You can export as an image, give a link to it, or embed it into your site. The example above is an exported image. The example below is embedded.
 * Using this concept map in other palaces**:

If you were someone wondering how I set up all of the graphics in this wiki, I used a free software called [|Jing]. It works on both Windows and Macs and is a very easy tool to take great screenshots. All of the images are hosted at [|Screencast]. Both Jing and Screencast are owned by [|Techsmith] and are free services.
 * Time to wrap up:**

Thanks for all of your work today. I hope you feel more comfortable using the "Tubes", [|wikispaces], [|gmail], and [|Bubbl.us]
