Things 16 & 17

Week 7

I went to Chuck’s class on wikis during our in-service on Halloween. I thought that they were really cool! This week gave me an excuse to take some time to explore the wikis for myself. In college, I often times had a class where I had to contribute to class post or discussion. Actually, in one of my grad classes, that is what the majority of one of the classes is. I really want to use wikis second semester in my writing lab classes. I am concerned about students being accountable and students being appropriate.


In that same grad class, we had to use a wiki page to introduce ourselves. While we have a discussion board for that class, my professor took it as an oppurtunioty to show us one aspect of the web since the class is all about teachers, technology, and the web. Perhaps that would be a great way to start out class next year with some ICE BREAKER BLOGGIN ON WIKI. Oh the idea is all coming to me now…We will see…
