=[]= = = = = =Welcome Paradise ISD Family!! I am so glad you are here. Some of you already know what a wiki is. Most of you are like me, and wondering what a Wiki is. It was suggested that it is the sound that one makes with the old style record players! I have found out that is a //little// bit like that. Anyone can make a new sound if they know how.= = What is a Wiki [WIK-ee]? = =Wiki is Hawaiian for "fast". It is a website that allows the easy creation and editing of any number of interlinked web pages via a web browser. It invites all users to edit any page or to create new pages. I am hoping that with Wiki we will be about to discuss what Paradise needs to be a 21st Century School. = = = = What is Technology? = =The Encarta Dictionary says it means:= =1. Application of tools and method;= =2. Method of applying technical knowledge= =This is not what it means in the 21st. Century. It means so much more!!! = =It is computers, cell phones, & MP3 players. It is Face Book and it is paying bills on-line. It is even this Wiki page. Here we are going to collaborate ideas, about how to bring Paradise into the 21st Century. In the next few months, I envision that we will learn from one another so many things that need to be done! = = = =I have done a little research on the Texas STaR Chart. I made a PowerPoint to explain the STar Chart and it has a graph to show the changes for the past three years. If you have a moment please view it at []. = = = =I think we need to start with basically a KWL chart. But in a new and more involved way. = = = =Let's get started! Just click on the link named KWL to the left, under HOME. = = = = =

Do not be afraid to write what you think. This is going to be much more fun and maybe more useful then mapping!! :)
If this is your first time here, please go to the KWL page first, then to the timeline. The page links are on the left side, under search.
