Staff Development Unit - 5 hours

I have been working on my staff development unit this week.  I decided to teach the teachers at my secondary site how to create wikis.  The school system is very "collaboration driven".  They want their two middle schools to be aligned so that there is no difference in the curriculum being taught at both schools.  As a matter of fact they rotate their planning times (and schedules) every six weeks to make sure that each grade level is allowed to meet with the teachers in their grade level and subject area once a week.  Teachers with the last period of the day planning alternate driving to the various locations to meet with their counterparts at the other school.  Having a wiki that allows instant collaboration could be a mighty tool for these schools.
