Our task was to visit some of the wikis posted and comment on them. I tried several of the posted wikis but felt somewhat like an interloper in that I didn't know what to add. I suppose that if you were part of a suggested wiki then it would make more sense, but they seem to act similar to a moodle of which students already are familiar with.
When working in the computer lab after school one day I overheard Angie giving instructions on using a wiki and can see some uses for faculty especially when we do our end of the year goal awards it would cut down on the time spent in our meetings. Many of the sites we have visited have given me some wonderful ideas, but the lack of having computers for each student limits the amount that can be used. Upper School could probably implement these much easier than the MSG. I do hope to revisit many of the sites for possible ideas for next year.
Using a wiki for the end of the year Goal awards is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteWe use a wiki in second grade. The students can access the wiki from the lab or from home.
ReplyDeleteMost students have a computer at home and will take the time to visit and comment.
