'''Hello. ''' I am a high school science teacher in a public school in Northern California. I teach physics and general science in Fremont, California. Fremont is midway between Oakland and San José on the east shore of the San Franciso Bay. Fremont has been in the news lately as it will become home to the Tesla electric car manufacuring facility. We are just north of "Silicon Valley".

I am interested in learning wikis to use as a tool in my classroom. I hope to use it for both Advanced Placement Physics and general freshmen science classes

Feedback and notes from my WikiNeighbours

 * Dear Robert, Can you share with us your experiences on what was most beneficial to you on learning wiki skills? --R C Sharma, PhD 14:43, 3 August 2010 (UTC) sure so far the most valuable skill is just learning how the wiki "works" how you add pages and edit.  I hope this is the right place to comment!!!--Robert Benn 04:51, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
