Tools #6 Wikis

Yet another great collaboration tool for the classroom and teachers. The possibilities are endless when using Wikis. You can start a classroom writing project and allow student to contribute individually, as a group or as a whole class lesson. The best part is the flexibility to add, change, and share using one document instead of several.

Classes can create websites or build their own web quest by seeking and sharing ideas and suggestions. Teachers can interactively create test and lesson plans. Students can do peer editing without being in the same classroom. Again, the possibilities are endless. This is a great tool for collaboration of ideas among a group of people. The final products will be better because of the shared ideas and responsibilities.

Things #16

Cool. I like all possible ways Wikis can be used in a classroom. It is great way to keep a class connected and actively involved. You can set up one page initially and reuse it for whatever purpose it serves for your class at any specific time. And it can be used simultaneously for multiple purposes.

This is a good idea for collaboration in any field on any level. It is a casual yet highly effective way to get things done in a collective effort.
