Wiki-wiki - the Hawaiian word for 'quick'
Hi 8th grade,

In this wiki, you will find information that will help you with our investigation of Theme 4: //Culture//. In our previous unit, you experimented with editing wiki pages, and creating and linking your own wikis. By using a wiki as an interactive text for this unit, I hope that you'll have access to more information than ever before. We will not only be 'quicker' at finding links to new ideas, we will also be able to explore many different parts of the world. Our wiki represents or contains the following:
 * ideas
 * connections
 * outlines of everything we do
 * assessments
 * rubrics
 * a place to share and discuss our work
 * a place to post ideas, music, artwork, videos
 * a place to work collaboratively

And best of all, we're saving paper!

This is our textbook. It is always there and you cannot lose it. You can follow up the links at your leisure at home and review material or follow new links as part of improving your understanding of these concepts. Your blogs are linked here and there is a place to post work. Some pages are locked (such as the unit overviews and assessment) but some pages will be a work in progress, for us to create something collaboratively. Who knows what we will end up with...

It's a new journey! Enjoy.
