What I will remember from this oh-pedia process.
What will I remember from this oh-pedia process? The 3 main things I will remember about the oh-pedia process is, making the wiki, creating a lesson, and learning how to make my own quiz.
When we first started the oh-pedia we created a wiki. The wiki had our standards on it. Mine was Properties of Matter. We had to write our benchmarks and find info on then, like videos, pictures, and websites. That took me about two weeks because I had nine benchmarks to make into a wiki. It was a lot of fun designing and adding my touches to what I know about matter.
After we finished the oh-pedia wiki, I decided to create my own wiki for my lesson plan. I made it look like a notebook that you would use for school. I made all of my summaries in the other wiki and made it smaller for my lesson plans for each benchmark. In a lesson I think it is better to have less writing and more pictures and videos, so that is what I did, add videos and pictures. This was my favorite part of the whole process because, even though it took a long time to make, I made it how I would like to learn about any topic.
We all had to make a quiz about our wikis and what we learned. Mostly we had to make a quiz for the middle schoolers, who I will be teaching, and see how well they could remember all of my info in my wiki. When making the quiz I kept looking back over my wiki making sure that the "students" would be able to answer with the info given in the wiki.
This process was fun! I enjoyed learning and making a wiki. I hope that everyone will enjoy my wikis. Overall, hope we have a chance to do another project like this one!

Daily Goal Recap
I am feeling really good about both my science and social studies projects. I have sent my science wiki project to my experts and I will start on my lesson next week. My social studies mayan and incas venn diagram was completed today. So I am feeling pretty good about my projects.
I have learned so much over a short period of time we have had when working on both of my projects. I feel that I am learning because I am not in a big hurry to read or finish everything.
