Tool #6

I looked through PBWorks, Wikispaces, and Google Sites, and decided Wikispaces was for me. I liked how easy it was to navigate, post, and edit the profile. After reading some sample wikis, I saw how useful wikis can be. Whether its a discussion board, daily schedule list, podcast, or an ongoing collaborative story, communication is happening through the wikis. I definitely think wikis will be useful for posting comments on specific topics or books being read. I think it is a great tool for getting a group of students to work together on creating a story or research paper, or maybe even writing a poem. I think it will be quite useful during science experiments. Students can record observations, make predictions, add hyperlinks, and yet, at the same time view other students observations and predictions. In this way, students will be able to guide their own learning, and continually form new ideas.
