If you are interested in wikis, here is a high school physics teacher who uses wikis in the classroom. If you click on one of his class periods you can see how he integrates the wiki in.

This are nice fun things to illustrate concepts - they vary in actual measurement and math.

Hi Antonio,<br />
<br />
For someone new to editgrid, you picked it up (and mashed it up) pretty fast. I think your example illustrates the potential for this type of page - I added some numbers and the graph updated in realtime.<br />
<br />
For the Flash, I thought that students could use the "stop" button to halt the earth's progress, choose some days, and determine from the animation the sunrise and sunset times, and therefore the length of the day. I also envisioned a graph, but I have not created it yet.<br />

<br />
I've tried to add some calculation to the spreadsheet to get day of year (DOY) from the date in prep of graphing, but I'm getting a strange number which I think is the number of days since 1900 instead of since 1/1/2008. Hmmm<br />
<br />
I added another element at the top of the page: a whiteboard so that students could record their predictions. These whiteboards are neat but a bit quirky to use. If I was actually doing this with students, they might have to record their predictions before going to the activity page. What do you think? Wow, Jay!

Wow, Jay!<br />
First of all, I like Bitty Browser and EditGrid (It's new for me...).<br />
But it's not clear how do you pretend to interact with the flash animation...<br />
A good idea, I think, is to creat a mashup graph like I did in the same page.<br />
What do you think?

Hi Antonio,<br />
<br />
When I was teaching high school physics 8 years ago, my students used simulations and spreadsheets, but the tools were not available for knowledge accumulation and collaboration like they are now, e.g. wikis, collaborative docs, etc. I put this wikipage together as an example, but it is not really fleshed out enough to be usable. Feel free to refline it with a clear purpose and instructions! The page is at:…

<br />
Note: I embedded an editgrid spreadsheet because I think it allows public editing, unlike google spreadsheets which require you to specific the users that have edit access.<br />
<br />
I hope this is leads you to have other ideas about how to uses wikis.<br />

Hi, Jay!<br />
I apreciated all your ideas. But can you explain better what you meant about "<i>Physics applets can be embedded along with spreadsheet powered data tables to create richly interactive pages.</i>"?<br />
Thank you.

Hi Kevin,<br />
<br />
Several good ideas have already been suggested, but one I did not see, that may be worth trying/using, would be videos. Videos created by you or your students that demonstrate physics principles and sharing them on your "class channel" on youtube or teachertube, for others to present/explain/react to /comment on/... Also creating playlists of existing Science videos on youtube and embedding those in your web 2.0 space (wiki, blog, ning, whatever).<br />
