Makingwikis

This page can be used to post ideas or things you have done so that others can see what you are doing.

Making a wiki:
1. Why wiki? interactive, kids publish to an audience that allows for feedback, kids are able to use any web 2.0 tool they are comfortable with and will show you how much they have learned. Wikis give way to creative collaborative learning that students love and will be more engaged. Students will be "locked in" at anytime, not just class. 2.. Find a wiki making program that you are comfortable with. wikispaces.com is an easy one to use and kid friendly. pbworks.com is a little more challenging but is still really good and kids can figure out. 3. Create your wiki and personalize it the best you can. 4. Play around with it and make things yours, put notes, projects, discussion questions anything. Apply it to your class.

Example of how you can have kids make the wiki interactive. This is a voicethread (voicethread.com) and kids then go to wiki and have them comment on the project media type="custom" key="8858502"
