About the PraxisWiki
We feel that the goals of Praxis (and its content) are uniquely suited to the adaptation of of a wiki-based resource. Our aim for the PraxisWiki is to provide practical, usable information about how different individuals, departments, and schools (college, university, or K-12) use technology. We want to include information about the use of both cutting-edge technologies and technologies whose use may be more appropriate to technologically inexperienced teachers or users who do not have access to the most recent hardware and software products. To best achieve these goals, the PraxisWiki will publish short narratives about specific learning situations in which instructors and researchers have made use of different types of digital tools and environments. These short webtexts (approximately 3-5 pages in length) will be accessible via an evolving list of keywords, as well as a general search engine. The Praxis editorial staff, which consists of two editors and nine assistant editors, will continuously work to edit webtexts, correspond with authors, and develop new key terms to help users better locate helpful narratives. Users will also be able to sign-up and log-in, both to contribute new narratives and to edit/annotate/extend existing narratives. We feel this combination of an edited publication venue with a modified open-access database will provide a rich and ever-evolving resource for readers of Kairos
