== 6. Activities: Here is where you will state the purpose of each activity, the description of each activity, the activity’s steps, and the estimated time for each activity. An example of a beginning activity might be to have the community members create a shared vision. ==
 * Beginning activity idea- Create a vision by brainstorming ideas that reflect the needs of our students. We could use the discussion board for this activity. Estimated time would be 15 minutes.
 * 2nd activity idea-Find other first grade class Wikispaces across the district/state/globe to encourage communication between other students. We need to do a search on Wikispace for other educational spaces, preferably first grade classes and send a request to start communication with them. This should take about 10 minutes.
 * 3rd activity idea-To differentiate learning for our learners, we could find Technology lessons/activities that would meet the needs of each level of learners: Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced learners. Each member could search for differentiated lessons on the internet and post their findings on this wiki. Approx. time will vary.
 * 4th activity idea-To use a powerpoint to teach 1st grade phonics. Teachers could find a refresher video on creating powerpoints and post to the wiki. Then create powerpoints to use in the classroom that teaches phonics lessons.
