I loved learning how to use a wiki. Although I feel the site can use some upgrading, I think by using this, it is a great way for students to be excited about learning. Since many students go home after school and are online, why not have a project there? It can fit in with a student’s normal schedule and is cool! I think this will be the new way to have fun with students. Using the site can allow students to apply team working skills, or can allow them to accomplish something individually.
I found this project to be one of the most meaningful things we have done in class this semester. I can always turn to my class wiki to get some great resources while teaching books from the canon. I also learned a lot about how others want to teach from their selections. I especially enjoyed Dave’s mini presentation because I would love to use some of the ideas he shared.

Marissa,
ReplyDeleteI am glad we have this resource to look to, also! The other benefit, for me, was knowing where to seek the best lessons from. Readwritething.org is my favorite! We are much better critics of lessons and their qualities from doing this assignment!
