Yummy…The Jelly Spreads Easier! February 21
PBwiki has just made its spread sweeter than ever. You might want to get a glass of milk for this!
PBwiki, a Technorati favorite, just launched their new PBwiki Point-and-Click editor for all you WYSIWYG fans, which lets you edit in rich text and import photos, videos, and more. They’ve also added a shared calendar, and easy ways to add YouTube video, Flickr photoshow, chat room, stock chart, and more. Just click “Insert Plugin.” If it’s a little too sweet for your taste, you can always go back to the way you put your PB together before – they’ve enabled switch back-and-forth between Point-and-Click and Classic editing modes. And don’t fret over the one you’ve already made: you can switch to PB on the sweeter side right now, free!
Even better, they have a special educator section, probably because they know how much teachers like our P&Js. Take a look at how educators do their PBs:
Mr. Lindsay’s beautiful classroom wiki demos his students’ work with book reviews, poems, stories, and tons of other resources. It’s a wiki run “by the students, for the students.”
Another excellent educational wiki. You’ll note the project proposals, class notes, and different sections for different classes.
Penn State English 15 course, which is required for all freshman English students at Penn State.
To show you the same love you saw in your mother’s eye as she handed you your P&J, they’ve created a two-page Q&A for educators. If it all sounds a little too sticky for a first bite, take a tour before digging in, then sign-up, lick your fingers and enjoy!
