KEEP Toolkit from the Carnegie Foundation's Knowledge Media Lab The KEEP toolkit is free for educators; it is designed to assist teachers and students in constructing online displays of what they are learning. "KEEP" stands for Knowledge, Exchange, Exhibition, and Presentation. "The KEEP Toolkit is a set of web-based tools that help teachers, students and institutions quickly create compact and engaging knowledge representations on the Web. With the KEEP Toolkit you can: select and organize teaching and learning materials. prompt analysis and reflection by using templates. transform materials and reflections into visually appealing and intellectually engaging representations. share ideas for peer-review, assessment, and collective knowledge building. simplify the technical tasks and facilitate knowledge exchange and dissemination." Use of the online toolkit requires registration. A Tour, sample Cases, and Help section provide guidelines for the use of the kit. KEEP is constructed using Plone style sheets from the Plone Open Course Management System (http://plone.org/). ____JH (Thanks to Albert Delgado's Educational Weblogs posting for information about KEEP. http://educational.blogs.com/instructional_technology_/2005/03/carnegie_founda.html) 5:40:00 PM    COMMENT []
