Wiki – page created for Art Metal II Class wiki page
 * Evidence 1:**

This lesson was developed during Edt 674 Learning with Technology: Effective Strategies, and this lesson was part of a high school Art Metals II class. Students learned how to access and use a wiki. Students came to the computer lab with names of professional metal artists’ found using classroom books and resources. Through an Internet search, students found gallery links and professional artists’ web sites. Students then posted three different artists’ links and a brief description of the style or look on the wiki page. Web sites and information provided a resource of ideas and inspiration for fellow class members.
 * Rationale 1:**

Developing this lesson provided me with the skills to design and navigate a wiki. I was prepared when students came to the lab with their student passwords and information on posting and importing images. I came away with a sense of accomplishment and an understanding of new technology. A wiki is a form of technology I did not know existed until I was introduced to it in my first Marian Class Edt 650.

Through this lesson I found most students were introduced to wiki web page by me. Students thought it was impressive they could upload information to the wiki and see it appear in real time. The technology added a knew level of interest to this project and provided students with a list of artists and links to use when searching for inspiration in classroom metals projects. As an added level of interest students developed an appreciation for professional art web sites, pricing of handmade jewelry and quality photography. Students exhibited data collection skills and communication through a wiki, using word processing applications.

KSD On the wiki students could see their artist additions and the work of other students and it inspired them to look more and find better web sites with more information.
 * 5.K.5 The teacher recognizes factors and situations that are likely to promote or diminish intrinsic motivation, and knows how to help students become self-motivated. **

Students selected artists that created work in a style liked, the wiki displayed and shared their found information with the class and students took ownership for ‘their’ artists.
 * 5.S.2 The teacher engages students in individual and cooperative learning activities to develop motivation to achieve, by (for example) relating lessons to students’ personal interests, allowing students to have choices in their learning, and leading students to ask questions and pursue problems that are meaningful to them. **

The collection of information can be accessed from home or school and provide inspiration on later projects. This experience exposed students to professional artists in this field and how they market their work.
 * 5.D.4 The teacher recognizes the value of intrinsic motivation to students’ life-long growth and learning. **
