Details+of+Wiki+Project

Welcome to the Local Restoration Ecology wiki page! This page is dedicated for the participants of //Conservation Biology for Educators Beyond the Campus//. Based on this week’s module and readings, we will be creating a wiki on local habitat restoration projects. Here is a basic overview of wikis: A Wiki enables documents to be authored collectively in a simple markup language using a web browser. "Wiki wiki" means "super fast" in the Hawaiian language, and it is the speed of creating and updating pages that is one of the defining aspects of wiki technology. Generally, there is no prior review before modifications are accepted, and most wikis are open to the general public or at least to all persons who also have access to the wiki server. The Moodle Wiki module enables participants to work together on web pages to add, expand and change the content. Old versions are never deleted and can be restored. This module is based on Erfurt Wiki.

For this project, you must create one page for the wiki. Everyone will have access to view the pages you create but only members of this course will have access to edit the pages. Your page, which should have **your full name in its title**, should include the following: 1. a link to or a description of a habitat restoration activity happening locally

2. an explanation of how you would use the wiki in your classroom to either get your students involved in the restoration activity or encourage their awareness about it. Keep the following objectives in mind for how the use of your wiki will provide your students with: -a basic understanding of what restoration ecology is -a connection to their local wildlife and habitats -a foundation to participate in local restoration if they desire

3. Finally, a component of this assignment is to comment on someone else's page. **Please use the following format on YOUR OWN PAGE for commenting:** //Comments on Sally's wiki page:// //I really liked the project you decided to create your page about. Piping plovers are very interesting and they are obviously facing various threats due to human/wildlife interactions. I was fascinated by the power of local people to aid in recovery efforts.//

4. As always, be sure to cite your sources properly in APA format!
