Thing #16

Wikis are so much fun! I have used Wikipedia numerous times. I didn't know very much about it though.

I really enjoyed the Common Craft explanation of wikis. It makes so much sense. Emails were once the "in thing" for communicating and making plans. I can see how much more effective it would be to use a wiki for such planning. Actually it would have been very handy last summer when I was planning my 10 year high school reunion.

Teachers and students alike will be able to have many uses for wikis in the classroom. It would be helpful to have a class site where the teacher can post information for the students (or the parents of younger children) that can be easily accessible by all.
