Martin Cleaver, masterfully.

Some of you may have noticed on the upcoming page that March’s date for Toronto Wiki Tuesday was preliminary, due to a schedule clash on my diary. I’m settling on the 2nd Tuesday of the month whereever possible, making Toronto Wiki Tuesday on the 2nd weekday of the 2nd week of each month.

1. This month only, Toronto Wiki Tuesday will be the following week, the 18th March. Damir Sudarevic (Industrial Design Engineer) is talking this month, will talk about on how he uses a wiki to drive a website. We will be in the Front Room at the EPICURE CAFE (502 Queen Street West, between Spadina and Bathurst) for this
2. April’s talk 8th, will be by Adrian Fritsch on a wiki-based debating technology called Debatum.
3. May’s date, 13th will be Nelson Ko, probably talking about Social Networking
4. June’s is by Vanessa Peters (OISE) talking through educational uses.
   • Vanessa’s title is “Co-
     Designing Pedagogical Scripts for Knowledge Building in Secondary
     School Science”
   • As not everyone knows, here’s what http://www.pedagogicalpatterns.org/ says about Pedagogicalisms
     

     Patterns are designed to capture best practice in a specific domain. Pedagogical patterns try to capture expert knowledge of the practice of teaching and learning. The intent is to capture the essence of the practice in a compact form that can be easily communicated to those who need the knowledge. Presenting this information in a coherent and accessible form can mean the difference between every new instructor needing to relearn what is known by senior faculty and easy transference of knowledge of teaching within the community.

5. July is open, let me know if you want to talk about something.
6. August is open, let me know if you want to talk about something.
7. As September’s second Tuesday clashes with WikiSym 2008, in Porto, Portugal, and as I hold the position of “Posters and Demos Chair”, we’ll find another date so I can attend! I’ll likely run this session, to summarize the submissions into the posters and papers track.

I’ll likely and the group with updates from the WikiSym sessions throughout the year anyway, as its good to get your impressions of new innovations as we go along.

Regards and thanks,
Martin
