What did you learn? - I learned a lot. My experience with wikis was VERY limited before. Other than occasionally using Wikipedia I had no idea what they were. I think my students would love to have a class research or writing wiki. Anything technology gets them excited and this would help them take ownership of their learning. I also think that knowing others in the class could view it would make them want to be sure to check what they post before they post it.
How will you use what you have learned? - I would really love to start a class wiki at the beginning of the year that had a story starter, book review, math, and science sections that could be added to as we gain more knowledge in each subject.
How did you feel about this tool? - I think in my previous responses it's pretty obvious, but I'll say it anyway, this might be my favorite tool we investigated yet. I think it has the most exciting classroom applications, especially in the elementary classroom.
What do you not want to forget about this tool? - how to become a member and update a wiki
How can this be used in the classroom or in your educational role? See question 2
Should you use this in the classroom or your educational role? Definitely, this is a tool the students would love. They like to share their knowledge and this is a way for them to feel proud of what they know and be able to share it with others in a non traditional format.
What questions do you still have about this tool? - how would I manage this tool in my classroom? When would I find time for students to work on it?
