Mr. King's Classroom - Senior English Wiki

Welcome to the elusive Home Page for **Mr. King's Senior English Classroom Wiki!**

This is a __**mock classroom wiki**__ which has been set up for my Technology in Education course at the University of Central Florida, taught by Dr. Larry Bedenbaugh. Everything you see here is fictitious, as I have no real class (ba-dum-tsss), but the intent is to demonstrate how a classroom wiki can be of use in literature instruction. One day, however, this will be a fully functioning classroom, complete with students.

Explore, enjoy, and above all, please feel free to contact me with questions or concerns.

Original Classroom Wiki Assignment (June 15, 2013) For my first assignment in EME2040, I was tasked with creating this Classroom Wiki you see before you. The main stipulation of the assignment was to be realistic and provide a snapshot of a "class in progress." In light of this, I chose to demonstrate a senior English class in the midst of beginning George Orwell's dystopian novel //1984.//

The archived home page for this assignment can be found here.

Included, you will find such amazing items as, a newsletter outlining various guideposts for the week. Also, a Class Conversation page which allows for collaboration on the weekly topic. In addition, there is the Weekly Concept Map, which gives students a visual representation of the week's study. On offer as well is an entertaining and //Hollywood quality// Digital Book Trailer for Orwell's classic composed using Creative Commons materials. Finally, no respectable classroom wiki is complete without a linked reference page for students to explore.

Final Project - ASSURE Lesson Plan (July 29, 2013) The final project assigned in EME2040, a detailed, two-day (50 minute sessions) lesson plan, adhering to the ASSURE model, can be found on the Final Project Page.

While you're here, be sure to be kind and respect the work of your fellow student - we're all in the same boat.
