Thing #15 - Wikis

Before this "thing," the only thing I knew about wikis was Wikipedia. After watching the cute little video, "Wikis in Plain English," I learned more about them along with the other discovery resources. I think a wiki would be a fun thing to use in the classroom with your students. You could have an assignment where students needed to find information about a certain topic and then each student could add information onto one wiki document. I thought it was interesting that you could use the wiki for something so simple as planning a camping trip. It's not just about publishing information on the internet. I can be really interactive if used that way.
