Welcome

= Welcome to my wiki space. =

Definition of a **wiki** for those of you, like myself, who have had no experience with a wiki. A **wiki** is a Web site that "allows visitors to add, remove, edit, and change content."

From [|Linda Roeder], former About.com Guide
 * Wiki's** are a great way to get your voice heard on the Net. You can start a **wiki** about anything you want. A **wiki** allows you to discuss something that's important to you, while at the same time getting opinions and information from other people that visit your **wiki**. **Wikis** allow your readers to become part of your Web site by letting them add their ideas and information to the **wiki** too.

See this video to give understanding to the wiki concept: []

Now, why have I invited you?
You have been invited to join initially to fulfill the requirements of my master's course. However, I can see this as a positive beginning for true collaboration and another step in reaching the **Texas Long Range Plan for Technology**.

Ah, what is the **Texas Long Range Plan for Technology** you ask? Perhaps you may recongize the term **STaR Chart**. They are one in the same so to speak. There is this **plan** - taking our teaching and learning to a level that matches the knowledge and skills that our students need to live and work in the 21st Century - and the **STaR Chart** measures our progress towards meeting that goal.

Don't panic, this can be fun. Please feel free to put in as little time or as much time as you want. Thank you for considering investing your valuable time in this effort to make our voices heard!

Soon - very soon - I will be creating another page, // Integrating Technology for the 21st Century //, with some interesting information that I have gathered based on our campus' **STaR Chart** data.
