Tool #6

Wiki's could be a great learning tool for the classroom considering that we will have the MacBooks available everyday for the kids to have access. With our former limited access to the internet through "reliable" computers this might have been a challenge. I looked at one Wiki created by a teacher and it looked like she had a page there for every topic they studied. The kids could import pictures, make comments and respond to the comments of classmates. It is a living document that the kids can add to at any point. Looks safe enough. The teacher can then post discussion questions and have students respond during their computer station time. I like it and I could think of a million different ways to use it in science. Watch out...we'll be eating...wiki-ing and bloging about it!! LOL!
