 * Our goal is to find better ways to successfully work together in a global exchange of ideas.**

During this particular class we will be promoting "connected-thinking," 21st Century Skills, collaboration and creativity.

We have established an educational partnership with students from [|Tauntons College], Southampton, England and [|Kent State University]- Geauga Campus.

What is a wiki?
Well, simply, a wiki is a **collaborative learning space.**

In education, it is best described as //'three dimensional ring binder (folder),'// where staff and students can share their learning experience. Wikis are not a new phenomenon, but are certainly a core contributor to what is referred to as [|Web 2.0] or the write-rewrite web evolution, originally designed to promote //'connectedt-hinking.'//

Web 2.0
[|Web 2.0] or the write-rewrite web evolution

This is probably best explained using one of the most well used Web 2.0 resources, YouTube. A short film called 'The Machines are us/ing us' created by Professor Michael Wesh, explains the internet evolution and why we can now work together using digital text.
