=__**Welcome to Our Wiki - Emerging Technologies in the Classroom**__ = =by Kris Conn and Brian Campbell=

This Wiki is to be use to help with a collaborative research paper for our online class through Wilkes University. We decided to approach this project by splitting responsibilities for specific topics. Brian Campbell will be in charge of Google Apps such as GoogleDocs, Google Calender, and Googlemaps. Kristine Conn will be responsible for online tools such as Skype, Blogs, and Wikis.

After our Skype session we realized that both of us teach science is our grade levels of 3rd and 5th. We decided to write our research paper on how to use these Web 2.0 tools to enhance student engagement and learning.

To begin our research we have agreed to use the online research tool Evernote. As we find information we will upgrade this Wiki to share our progress.

Evernote: We have both went in and added several articles that were either found on the internet or on the ERIC database at Wilkes University Library.

After talking to and Skyping one another, we decided to write our paper by discussing how we would use these technologies in the Science classroom. We found out that we both teach elementary science and that many of the technologies that we have been working on would fit in nicely to our science curriculum. We have divided up the technologies and the responsibilities for this paper as follows. Brian: Google Apps 1) GoogleDocs 2) Google Calendar 3) Googlemaps
