Wikis

On to the next adventure in technology, Wikis. I knew nothing this technology prior to this class. I had heard of Wikipedia and had been on it, but only got the "pedia" part of it, which I guess I'm not alone in, seeing that Will Richardson points this out in his book. I still couldn't wrap my head around what to do with them in the classroom until I read his chapter on wikis; now I can't wait to be apart of it! I really love the idea of the discussion piece to wikis, allowing students to see people working out the details, and deciding what information needs to be included. What a fantastic opportunity to teach children about collaboration! Now if only I could get the song out of my head...wiki wiki wiki, come on you '80s people, Dance!
