Teri's Major Project

Abstract:

This major project consists of a wiki site for families, kids, teachers, librarian, and anyone who wants to explore the world of literature. This wiki site found its origins with my 3rd grade students from last year. They wanted to create a list of their favorite books and give a short summary about each one. We started a list but at the time I did not know how to create a wiki site. This site is dedicated to them.

Navigating through “kidbooks” will be very much like reading a book. The wiki will have an introduction page, a table of contents, several content and discussion pages, links to author sites and library resource sites, and acknowledgments. At this time the site’s permission status is at the protected level. This allows anyone to view the page but only members to edit the page. I have also enable the ability for non-members to create discussion posts and comments.

This wiki is still in the beginning phase of its creation and I look forward to the dialogue with those that view the site to see what their ideas are and how this wiki will evolve over time.

Enjoy!
