About+This+Wiki

toc =Purpose= Students in the EDUC 4338: Reading Instruction in the Middle Grades at [|Trinity University] are using this wiki to co-construct the text for their course. Each week students read a variety of different articles and book chapters on the same topic. The topic pages on this wiki provide a place for students summarize, analyze, and synthesize their readings into a cohesive representation of what they've learned in preparation for class. Students are ideally connecting their readings to one another and organizing their learning into a collective resource that builds everyone's prior knowledge. After all, "no one is smarter than everyone" ~Web 2.0 proverb Students will take turns serving as the final editor of each wiki page.
