Wiki Research

1. Using the Internet, research how a class wiki can be used in education - Here is a good source, use it and adapt it to your specific classes.
2. What are the benefits of using a wiki?
3. How can we create one in this class and utilize it?
4. What experience do you have using or creating wikis?

1. You can get quick information about the class and be able to communicate with your class easily

2. You get credible information quickly and easily

3. We can create one with the entire class working on it and put the things that we need for class everyday on the website.

4. I have no experience with creating wikis

     There are countless things that I could do if I was chosen to wear an invisiblity cloak for a day. Many people would choose to help themselves, but helping someone would be even better. Not being recognized for doing something nice is worth knowing that you helped someone, or in my case, saved someone's life.
     The day that I was given the invisibility cloak, I was compelled to do something that would help people that lived in my neighborhood. I spent all day looking for someone or something that needed help and I was starting to give up on my dreams of helping someone. Finally, I heard someone yelling out for help, I started running towards the yell, it was my chance to help someone. A woman was stuck in the train tracks with her baby, and a train was coming towards her quickly. I knew that it was my time to help someone. I ran towards them as fast as I could and the woman was free from the track. I then realized that I wouldn't be recognized for my good deed, but I decided to keep the cloak on and keep my identity a secret.

I would like to have a class that teaches me about oceanography. Oceanography is a branch of Earth Science that focuses on the ocean. It covers a wide range of topics, including marine organismsand ecosystem dynamics; ocean currents, waves, and geophysical fluid dynamics; plate tectonics and the geology of the sea floor; and fluxes of various chemical substances and physical properties within the ocean and across its boundaries. This is a very interesting topic to learn about and i believe many students would be interested in taking the class. 
The class would meet at the beach every wednesday and learn about a new topic everytime the class meets. This would be a hands-on experience and will  further the students understanding of the ocean and everything that lives within the water. A field trip for the class could be to go snorkling and study the ecosystems of the fish. The final project would be a presentation that the student must give telling everyone what they learned and what they are going to do with their new knowledge of the ocean. 

Lake That Turns Anything That Touches It To Stone

• Tanzania
• The rare phenomenon is caused by the chemical make up of the lake
• Petrified creatures surround the lake due to its constant pH of 9 to 10.5, that preserves the animals forever
• The water has a high soda and salt content
• No one knows for certain how the animals actually die
