As I’ve said numerous times, my College Literature students have been working regularly with Wiki. One element that I haven’t looked into is parent feedback. In a real college setting this wouldn’t necessarily be a practical interest to the instructor. However, since I’m in the high school setting, I am rather interested in what parents make be thinking about this expectation of doing on-line classroom work.
After three plus weeks of using the Wiki for class discussion, I informally asked my class how many of them had mentioned to their parents that they had this requirement for my class. Only about three kids said that they had talked to their parents about it. Of those three, I asked what their parents thought- and none of those parents had anything to say.
Before the end of the semester I’d like to more formally get some parent feedback regarding this use of technology. I suppose I could look on-line for some possible questions, since I’m not really sure what I would even ask. I also plan to ask my students in an anonymous evaluation of their thoughts regarding the Wiki discussion.
