I started using a wiki last year in my class. I would post videos or thoughts and ask my students to respond to them. My students also used the wiki as a method to interact with me when they were having difficulties with assignments away from school. Our department also used a wiki to communicate and share information this past school year.
I am very interested in the Atomic Learning website. There are many resources on the site regarding how to do things using technology. I liked seeing the samples of how wikis are being used in the classes.
I have not decided how I will use my school wiki this coming school year. I know I will use it for sharing information but how I will use it in other means I have not decided. Last year, I started with the wiki and then when studywiz became operational, I switched to using it with my students. It was easier to have the kids always go to one site.

Too true. It's always a good idea to have the students go to one main place for information for your class.
ReplyDeleteHere's my suggestions on how to use some of these tools. I'm using the school library web page for static information. I want to use the school wiki for teacher collaboration. I want to use the school blog for communication such as the posting of book reviews, book club information, etc. The only limitation are those imposed by the school district technology.
