How I learned to make a wiki

First stop, google!
http://www.squidoo.com/how-to-make-a-wiki
is an excellent source with all the links you'll need to figure it out.

I first watched the video from that fabulous guy at commoncraft to explain it to me in dumbanese...very helpful. Then I followed the signs to the free software...

Some hard choices came into play when choosing which wiki to go with...wetpaint or wikispaces? Or Wikia--that one looks so cool too! I took the easy way out and close my eyes and clicked a tab, and ended up with wetpaint. It looks more like it's aimed for pop-culture but is a fun interface to use.

Now to fill 'er up! Add any green tips--or those for any of the other colors an art teacher uses--as well as lesson plans, ideas and inspiration! See you there!

Ideas for using Pixton in a paperless classroom...

I am a big fan of portfolios, or any other techniques that helps students see how they are learning and developing over a long period of time.

Pixton can be a fun tool to illustrate this as part of a students online portfolio, facebook page, igoogle home, student blog, or whichever paperlesshome base students choose to catalog their learning.
Once a school has an account at

students could make a comic a week (or over whatever time period works for you) that shows what they learned that week--not necessarily a list of facts, but ideally a comic about what the student learned about them self as a learner.
When students are metacognitive about their learning and articulate that, be it in writing, comic, or on a chart or graph (making goals and timing them, or any method of quantification you could imagine) they establish problem solving strategies that can help make their thinking more flexible.
