=Jeffco Online Learning Best Practices Wiki=

**//Welcome!// ** The purpose of this wiki is to provide a place, for Jeffco staff that are teaching online, to connect around student online learning.

If you have used a wiki in past you know how it works, so have at it. But if you haven't used a wiki before you may be wondering what all this is. A wiki is a page or collection of web pages designed to enable anyone who accesses it to contribute or modify content. Wikis are often used to create collaborative websites and power community websites. "Wiki" is orginally a Hawaiian word for "fast" and is also a backronym for "What I Know Is". (//[|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki//)//]// // This wiki has three distinct areas which can be accessed on the left. // >
 * **Online Instructional Models - Content Area:** We have created space for people to gather around content areas. Some of your conversations really relate just to your content area. But we also know that some best practices crossover multiple content area. 
 * **Online Instructional Models :** We have also provided a second area which focuses around the online instructional model we use in Jeffco //Hybrid, Credit Recovery ,// and //Online Enhanced// instruction.
 * **Getting the Word Out:** Share your ideas around how to best promote online learning. People may have assumptions about online learning or just simply don’t know that much about it. The “Get the word out about online learning” part of the wiki is a place where you can share your ideas on how we can inform staff, parents and students about the benefits and realities of online learning.

**Rules for Participation:** If you have a best practice to share, please do! Post it to the page you feel is most applicable. You may feel that it applies to multiple pages so you can post it there as well. For help in editing pages on this wiki, check out the Wikispaces Help.
