Every participating class will have their own wiki page on the project wiki to showcase their stories, poems, photographs and other weather related learning experiences. There are many easy Web 2.0 tools available to enhance your weather unit. This project is ongoing and it started last spring. If you go to the wiki you'll see what participants did last spring.
