Lesson 5- Wikis

I never realized just how useful and interactive a wiki can be. I knew wikis were used in educational settings, but I had no idea just how great a tool they really were.
Wikis can be used for all types of things associated with educational learning. A wiki would be a great tool for clubs and programs within a school to take advantage of, such as a book club; it would allow the readers to discuss what they’ve read, view each others comments, and add their own opinions and comments, with the option of editing, saving, and adding links to the wiki. Wikis would also be a great tool to use within a classroom for subject discussions among students. Other then used for discussions, a wiki could also be used as a calendar or agenda for a classroom; a place where students could go and see what assignments are due and when.
A wiki is a great educational tool which can be used among teachers, students, parents, and all other school staff; it’s a convenient way of communication to a large group of people.

  1. I like the idea for clubs. I used to sponsor two when I taught high school. This would be great for planning projects and making sure it all got done.
