Wiki wetpaint has a feature whereby you can add what they call widgets. You can add slideshows of pictures, videos and RSS feeds to your site. This is very easy to use and can be very effective for use in the classroom.
To add to the webquest of King Tut, we added some videos. I learned to embed videos on a wiki. I found though that if the video is very large (45 minutes) it does not work. I had to link our introductory video because it was too large.
Our project is complete. We will be putting the finishing touches on in the morning. We have created what I feel will be an awesome tool lesson for teaching about history and how it impacts us today. Studying King Tut's tomb is a great way to learn about artifacts and how archeologists can piece together information to come up with our history. We have created a great lesson for teachers. I am proud of our accomplishment.
