Greetings, I would like to thank the members of Wikieducator for the support they have shown in my first year at blending Wikieducator in my grade 11 and 12 EFL classes at Ort Gutman: http://www.wikieducator.org/Ort_Gutman_High_School. I gave a f2f L4C workshop to over 95 students so they can improve their writing and work on a the Holocaust project and their final bagrut projects for the national oral proficiency exam via WE. All the participants worked on the written project on wikieductator. Here are some of the pages: 1. http://www.wikieducator.org/International_Book_Sharing_Project 2. http://www.wikieducator.org/Holocaust 3. http://www.wikieducator.org/Ort_Gutman_High_School/Participants/Grades11_12_2008-2009
Looking forward to recruiting with more schools and students next year.
