My partner uses Wikis and showed me a bit last year for social studies. Again it is not my comfort level but I am hoping to use it. The more I practice it I know my comfort level will get better. This chapter talked about Wikipedia, I discourage my students from using it. I think it is unreliable and is constantly changing. I do not want my students to use Wikipedia for research and/or references. I try to provide other resources for my students when they are working on research projects.
I agree that Wikis in school would be great. The possibilities are endless in the classroom. Again when my partner used it last year I was impressed. He used it for social studies class and the students really talked it up and were excited. The energy level was great and the students were doing better than expected and completing all the requirements. It is a great collaborative tool for teachers and students. I am slowly getting into Wikis. I am excited to try it!
