*It's Toronto Wiki Tuesday time*!

Continuing our 2008 Toronto Wiki Tuesday Guest Speaker Series,
Vanessa Peters (PhD Candidate, OISE) will lead discussions next
Tuesday<http://www.damirsystems.com/?p=64>at Toronto Wiki Tuesday
at another new location, *GROUNDHOG PUB*.

*Here's Vanessa's description: *

In this meeting I will discuss a new wiki-based scripted activity that was
created for secondary school biology students. Using a co-design method, the
researchers collaborated with two experienced science teachers to create a
curriculum unit where 114 grade-ten biology students developed a knowledge
base of ideas about human physiology, then drew upon those ideas as
resources for subsequent curricular activities. Results demonstrate that
this innovative lesson fostered collaborative knowledge construction as well
as individual student learning. This suggests that a carefully designed
wiki-based activity can complement and enhance the value of a collective
knowledge building community within secondary school settings.
