=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.


 * 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, or 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. Chapter 5 gives 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.//
