Wiki+Participants

Participants in this Wiki can take on 5 different roles. These roles are delineated in Martin-Kniep's book //Communities that Learn, Lead, and Last// and are as follows:


 * Participant as Learner**: This type of participant is a part of this wiki to learn new information. They ask questions and look for answers and share their knowledge with the community via the wiki. You are looking to find a deeper understanding of Interactive White Board lessons and better ways to use them in your classroom. You are also looking to share effective lessons you have created.


 * Participant as Reflective Practitioner**: This type of participant is looking for feedback on their practice. They will share what they do in their classroom and welcome other participants to reflect on their practices. You are a colleague to the members of this wiki and try to offer constructive feedback to help others learn.


 * Participant as Researcher**: This type of participant is concerned with collecting data to share with the members of the wiki. Perhaps you will use data collected in your classroom to show other participants how effective a lesson you share will be.


 * Participant as Designer-Author**: This type of participant is willing to design and publish IWB lessons for the benefit of the group. You will all be Designer-Authors if you in any way add to this wiki!


 * Participant as Presenter-Facilitator**: This type of participant is sharing and documenting their thinking in a risk-free environment. They are honing their skills and helping others do the same.

Thank you for your participation in the wiki in whatever role you take on. I hope that as the wiki evolves, you will try to take on different roles. I look forward to learning with you!
