EDU+101+Educational+Shifts

=Education Shifts Wiki Project=

We are in the process of creating a wiki (a collaboratively created web site) on the topic of historical educational shifts.

Each of you will create a single page on your wiki space about an educational shift. You will make a link on the class artifact page for educational shifts to the wiki page you created on your wiki.


 * What's an Educational Shift?** Anything that happened that made us "shift" or change how we thought about schools or what we did in schools. It can be a single person, a community, a legislative or judicial act that had an impact on the way that society at the time thought about schools.

(This is a delicious site, so when you get there, you'll see a list of bookmarked websites that I've collected. Instead of a Google search, it's a Dr. Theresa screened search.)
 * How do you pick an Educational Shift?** There are countless to choose from. If you don't have a favorite already or are looking to learn something new, try the resources linked to this website: http://del.icio.us/texastheresa/educational.shifts


 * Artifact Index Page:** Make sure you put your link under the appropriate subcategory (who are schools for; the purpose of ed; how "the community" insures that the purpose is carried out). //Include the date// //(or date range) that your shift occurred//. Make sure it is listed in chronological order (older ones first, newer ones last). //Put your first name in parenthesis after the date.//


 * Shift Page:** Include the following:
 * Title
 * Description/Overview
 * Answer 3 questions (What we believed before….; What we believed after….; How do schools still act as if we have the “old” belief?)
 * At least 3 references (linked)


 * Rubric Outline for Page:**
 * 1) **Novice** - Some of these: Page exists. Little or no information. Perhaps overview, but 3 questions not addressed. Fewer than 3 references.
 * 2) **Developing** - Some of these: Brief overview. Brief responces to questions. Fewer than 3 linked references. Not all editing sessions documented with notes.
 * 3) **Proficient** - All of these: Descriptive title. Beefy overview. 3 questions well answered. Links to at least 3 references. At least 1 graphic.
 * 4) **Outstanding** - Proficient plus some of these: more than 3 linked references. Embedded links. Especially informational or especially well written. Includes multiple graphics that enhance the message.
