 //This wiki was created by Leasa, Alison, and Sandy as a space to collaborate on our projects for the course EDUC 8841: Diffusion and Integration of Technology in Education. Below you'll find brief descriptions of our individual innovation selections as well as our multimedia presentations.//

The innovation selected for this project was netbooks. The intention is to create a presentation to diffuse the use of netbooks in k-12 education in my district. In addition, wikis and moodle will be discussed as two other innovations used with the netbook hardware. Sandy

The innovation selected for my culminating project is the wiki. I’ll specifically target the use of wikis in K-12 education. My multimedia presentation will highlight the notion that K-12 wiki usage has much potential for enhancing student achievement in a variety of academic areas. Leasa

Google Earth is the innovation I have chosen to research for this project. I find this innovation to be quite interesting. I want to incorporate this technology into lessons across the curriculum in my third grade classroom. This is a tool that is beneficial for all levels of education, but my focus will be on the elementary grade levels. Alison
