Lesson 6 - Wikis as a Classroom Tool

This was my first experience with wikis and they really do seem easy to navigate and contribute to! I enjoyed watching the videos and hearing about how educators may use wikis, as well as some of their favorite features. I like the collaborative aspect in contrast to a traditional website or blog in that different people can contribute rather than only one author. Wikis may be a very motivational tool to use with students as they work on collaborative projects and could be a powerful parent-student-teacher communication tool. Collaboration with colleagues could easily be accomplished through the use of a wiki as well. I would be interested to see an example of how a primary teacher might use a wiki with younger students.
