THING #16

OK, wikis it is. I enjoyed looking at the different wikis, especially the wiki from the King County library system. It is fascinating to me to see so many book reviews. I have been in a reading rut, and I have found some good suggestions of other books and authors I might enjoy.

I think for classroom use, the wiki can be used to increase collaboration skills among my students and to increase accountability in cooperative learning situations. I am thinking of trying to develop an "Our Town" combination literature and writing unit, and the students could organize their research into a wiki.

Also, I am thinking of creating a classroom wiki and making post notes on what happened in class/information gathered each day for review purposes. That would be good as well.

I can see lots of applications!
