Welcome to the PKAL NSF CCLI Working Group Wiki
We will explore ways to enhance STEM learning through technology with focusing on one specific and essential competency-strengthening student learning. The name for the group was 'borrowed' from an existing wiki I already had for something else, which with minor editing, roughly suited PKAL purposes.
Your contributions to a collection of Suggested Readings are invited. It would be helpful if you also annotated the suggestion to something about what the reading or link is about. Also, put your initials by the entry (in parens after it, for example) so it's clear who contributed what.
A list of selected relevant emails is being constructed as background.
This site is open for discussion, refinement, and change.
Some recent pages
- Elements we want to consider in social networking software.
- A possible big-picture synopsis of technology-related portions of the proposal, to be edited mercilessly and justified thoroughly. Summarized in a sentence: Technology has truly transformed our work, but professors and students lack powerful support for intellectual collaboration, which calls for PKAL to develop social networking software.
- Web 2.0 Communities of STEM Practice

Collecting Links
When we find links of interest on the net, a quick way to corral them for later use is to put them in del.icio.us and just give them a unique tag. As of today (12-07-06) there are no links to pkal_ccli - so I suggest that as at least the unique identifier when you do this.
The Group's Work and Process
What are we going to do? How are we going to do it? It's often helpful to have a running time line to track where the work is and what we should be focused on
