The following is from her wiki:

I recently wrote how I would love educators out there to collaborate in creating a piece of work relating to themselves. The idea is to begin to bridge student and teachers through the use of multiliteracies. We spend so much time together in education but never stop to reflect on who and where we are. This is the idea behind this.

The catch is that it has to be in six words and matched with a picture you take yourself. I am currently thinking of mine and brainstorming possible options and look forward to collaborating here together and gaining insights into each other through this collaboration and content creation. I would then love to see students have a go at this project and upload their work so that we can begin to gain insights to us as educators and more importantly insights into the students we teach. I would also love to know any budding musicians out there who might be able to create a soundtrack to our insights at some stage as well.

Some driving questions could be:

• I am passionate about …
• What excites you about teaching?
• What excites you about learning?
• A teaching moment I loved was?
• My lightbulb moment came when…..
• I get up in the morning because….
• I think teachers should be

Have fun !

What if we were aware that we are co-authors of this story? What if we actively wrote our part and shared it with others. What if we weren’t confined to write our stories alone? The teacher in me thought PROJECT!

Let’s write an ongoing collaborative story by the members of Intrepid Classroom. I have created a page on the wiki page for this project. The rules are simple: Go to the wiki and add your part. Most of you are good enough writers to know that the story should maintain some sort of coherent thread, but if there are times when you must be non-linear then work you part into the existing plot somehow. You can add parts before or after existing text. If you want to flush out a character you did not create simply add flashback or find some other technique to add information. Feel free to experiment with voice, point of view, time…..whatever. Have fun. No rules, no grades, just write!

I think it is okay to edit other people’s work, but I suggest you do not erase entire passages. If someone edits your work, you are allowed to go back and change things back, but let’s not get into a back and forth. Rememebr once its on the wiki it is no longer yours, it is ours! You can write as little as one line or ten pages. (For those of you who have never worked with a wiki page please read this.)

There is a website called Lulu that will publish our book when it is done. So let’s get to work. Go to the wiki, ask for an invite, and write your part of the story. I hope you don’t mind but I have started us off. I couldn’t help myself. Let’s see where our story will take us….
