Wiki Presentations**

(right click, choose "open in new window," then save) it will take a few minutes to download TETC Presentation: (click on link, choose "save" and enjoy!) In this presentation I shared wikis made by teachers, librarians and the technology community. In the presentation there is a slide called "Wikiopardy" set up a lot like a Jeopardy screen. When a category is clicked you are taken to a screen shot of a wiki and when you click on the screenshot of the wiki you are connected to that wiki on the internet (as long as you have an internet connection!) This is a great presentation to share with those who just don't know what a wiki is good for, or for anyone needing ideas and real examples of wikis that are being used.
