Well, I was pretty proud of myself today- I created a wiki page for my college literature class! I was initially inspired by Jenn in her presentation on the “Fun Stuff I Found.” Then I was chatting with a friend who teaches at Eden Valley Watkins High School, and she also teaches a college course. She invited me to join her wiki page, so I did. I was impressed with all that she had included for her students.
I then created my own account, and started a page. My initial goal is to have my students post comments regarding the book we’re reading at least five times per novel, with at least one of those comments being a response to another students comments/questions.
Tomorrow I will get all of my students’ e-mail addresses so that I can invite them to join. They are a great group of students, so I trust them to be flexible and patient with my unfamiliarity with technology. I’m actually pretty excited to see how it works!

You'll have to let us know! It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteI was discussing my wiki with a coworker and he said he doesn't allow students to make comments on his wiki. I wonder how commenting on the wiki would be different than a class blog??
