Heartland AEA 11 Curriculum Network

This Wiki will be used to share ideas, questions, resources, and links to support the Curriculum Network at Heartland AEA 11.

Wikis are becoming more popular because they are an easy way to share, archive, and organize information, and participate in a collaborative, social community. So what is a wiki? A wiki is a Web page that can be viewed and modified by anybody with a Web browser (for Mac users we suggest Firefox - Safari is not supported) and access to the Internet. This means that any visitor to the wiki can change its content if they desire. Wikis provide users with both author and editor privileges; the overall organization of contributions can be edited as well as the content itself. Wikis are also able to incorporate sounds, movies, and pictures. Heartland will use this wiki to share information of interest to administrators involved in the eWalk project. If you'd like to leave a comment or suggestion about the development of this wiki, please click the "Comments" box.   To learn more about wikis, watch this short video: Wikis in Plain English
