Wikis as a way to share resources and build and find connections

In my first post about Wikis, I shared a link to a Foreign Language specific wiki, which relates to my own curricular and interest areas. After a little more searching, I found a few wikis that are essentially lists of links that can be edited by members. What's interesting about these lists is that they are specifically designed to help teacher find connections and resources, and to build their Personal Learning Networks. A quick glance makes me feel that these wikis could be exceptionally useful in leading to other sites, and I would love to add links that others can use. In addition, these wikis are also geared toward building your Delicious bookmarks, and your twitter connections, which will both come in handy during this class!

Twitter4Teachers has an alphabetical list of different interest and content areas. Once you choose an area, it gives you a list of twitter accounts that discuss those areas, so you can find one that is of personal interest.

Delicious4Teachers is also split up by content/level and is geared towards helping educators connect with others via blogs, websites, and Delicious links.

Of particular note to those of us in the online class is that both of these wikis are in PBWorks, so we already have an account to view and edit them!

I'm really looking forward to exploring some of the resources listed on these pages!
