WEEK 5

I can use a Wiki in my classroom by posting the class syllabus and weekly assignments to let students know what is expected of them. Also with the high school kids we can create Wikis or add to information on different aspects of the AVID program. In our age of technology it would be a lot easier for my class to use a Wiki instead of pencil and paper because the information is available faster and it would keep the students attention a lot better than pencil/paper work.

In comparing Wikis and Blogs - Wikis would work better for a classroom environment because of the interactions and editting and working together on the site vs. a blog where one person puts there ideas out there and others commit on them.

I set up a Wiki but haven't gotten real far on it, but can easily see this would be benefical in my classroom for my students and myself..
