WIKI Reflection

Today, I learned how to set up a wikia scratch pad page. My topic was the Concord Workbench. I've been playing around with the Concord workbench and find it very useful for the future in teaching chemistry. Many of the simulations are interesting and it allows students to see what I could not show them on a molecular level, considering my drawing stinks. I also learned how to set up the page and add pictures thanx to Todd. Before today, I never used wiki to make a page, only Wikipedia to access general things. This will be very useful for students to set up their own page and become a community and allow them to artistically set up what they find interesting in the class and what else they would like to learn about. Concord is great for physics and chemistry classes, and also gives the students the option to change the parameters of a reaction and see how different properties affect a particular situation. It allows students to actively construct knowledge by giving them a 3D view of what is happening.
