Jaimie, this is looking good. Here are my suggestions: first, look at your "extra" column and decide if these are definitions or educational examples. I can see some of them as definitions (like constructivism) and others as educational examples. Since you have the terms and definitions down well, you need the examples to be clear. Next, you have to link to one term in the wiki that was adopted by someone else, a "neighbor" term. Good luck!

|| This terms refers to a visible diagram that is created to show the relationships and ties between objects or ideas. This tool can also be used to organize and represent knowledge. A concept map is a figure that uses boxes, arrows, and other symbols to show the connection between thoughts and ideas. In a classroom setting, a concept-map is often used in writing classes in which students are required to brainstorm topics to write about through the use of diagrams to organize their thoughts. Concept-maps are a popular diagram that is chosen because it is easy to organize the information and put this into paragraph format. || [|How to instructions] || For more information on this term, click here, and view **Acceptable Use Policy** || This term refers to the idea of what teachers, administrators, parents, and other authoritative figures should be aware of when allowing students of all ages to have access to a computer. Digital Citizen refers to a group of technology users who appropriately use technology. This concept helps prepare both students and other users for a society that is dominated by technology in order to help them appropriately use these resources rather than abuse them. Digital citizen is about the proper ethics of using a computer. In education, each student is considered a digital citizen when they use the computer or another piece of technology, it is important for the teacher to show each student how to appropriately behave when they are on the computer. ||= __ [|Student Example] __ ||

 * **Constructivism** || This term refers to a specific type of learning style in which students obtain knowledge through inquiry, research, and their own investigation. When students are given the chance to construct their own knowledge, they are given the ability to analyze information and think critically. In a constructivism classroom, students complete more hands on activities and individual work with other students and they are active in their learning to be able to retain the information rather than simply memorizing it. Meaning is constructed based on experiences and new learning is based on and connected to the old. Constructivism is how people create knowledge and is a way of knowing, not teaching. || [|﻿Constructivism Class Example]﻿ ||

 * **MACUL** || This terms stands for Michigan Association for Computer Users in Learning. This association is a Michigan technology association that creates organization for technology skills. There are workshops for people to attend in order to learn how to use technology and a conference is held once a year to give updates and new information. The purpose for creating MACUL was to help the education community and assist educators and administrators in the use of effective technology for students and their learning environment. It is an organization that was created specifically to help the next generation. In education, it is important for the teachers to stay on top of the growth of technology in order to pass this information onto the students to help them grow. As the teacher learns about technology, the students learn as well. || [|MACUL] ||
 * **Webspiration** || This term is similar to the idea of concept-mapping, but it is a specific program you can download in order to create concept maps and import those concept maps into outlines, and eventually papers. A version can be downloaded to the computer and an account can be created in order to store and save your information for future use. Webspiration also allows users to collaborate online through the use of a chat feature. In an education setting, Webspiration is a great tool for teachers to subscribe to for students to use on the computers. It is similar to a concept-map, but it is digital so students may find this program easier and more efficient. || [[image:tumblr_lcb7qm7fTM1qehzajo1_400.jpg]] ||
