Thing 15

I created a wiki this summer through pbwiki. It was for an assignment where I had to create a fictitious seminar that I would teach. Wiki's are easy to work with. After viewing the video on wiki's I thought of many ways that I could use one in the classroom and in grad school. For example, a wiki would have been an excellent idea for a group project that I was involved in over the summer. I also thought about projects and committees that I am on at school, what better way to collaborate that through a wiki. Any time that you have multiple people working on one project a wiki would be useful. I also liked the idea of book reviews via a wiki. I would really like to start a wiki for my class that allows the students to post a book review every time they read a new book. This will be a great idea, especially for my gifted students. I'm always looking for new ways to challenge them. There is also a 5th grade writing assessment. A wiki could be a good place to post prompts and previous good work. I can't wait to get started!
