EDU101EducationalShifts

=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 (or several pages linked together to create a new wiki) 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. Chapters 5 and 6 give a good overview of some educational shifts that have occurred in education. 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, 1 which is not Internet-based and 2 that are . . . do not use the textbook and do not use Wikipedia as sources (feel free to use them as starting points for your research, but don't use them as final sources of information for the project)
