This is a wiki that my PLN group and I edited, adding a few more notes about Michigan. A Wiki page allows anyone to edit the information on the site, if it is set to allow public editing.
Here is a Project-Based Learning Lesson that my PLN group and I created using Wikispaces. This is an example of a Wiki that was created for our class, where only class could make changes to the site.

This is a website that my PLN used to assess a website on Anne Frank and the Holocaust. This specific form is geared toward Elementary students, and can be used to evaluate the webpages that they are using. Click here for the template of the evaluation.
We also used the Website Evaluation Wizard to evaluate a website about smoking. This wizard helps Middle or High School students determine whether a website is valid or accurate. Here is the website that we evaluated using the wizard.
