Assignment 5

I believe wiki's could be very useful in a classroom. If I were to use a wiki in my classroom, I would use it for the students to turn in assignments, and also to set up groups for group projects. I would also use it to put all of the content needed and of a lesson on the wiki. I believe a wiki will definitely come in handy in my classroom.

Assignment 5

I think wikis are a useful resource in the classroom. Teachers can set up wiki pages for the students to access and submit their work on. I think this will come in handy in the future when I have my own classroom.

Assignment 5

I think Wikis could be a useful resource in classrooms because it is easy for teachers to put all the content for a lesson on one page and make it easily accessible during class. It would make it easier to look at videos and pictures because they would all be in one place and linked exactly where you need to go. I do not think it would be as useful to students as a blog but that's just my opinion.

Wikis

If I were a teacher I would assign the students to create a wiki in lieu of a traditional research paper. The wiki could still have the same basic ingredients as the research paper, including stating a thesis, however the student would be able to attach videos, pictures, and other files and links in addition to the thesis-supporting text. This would create a more dynamic, interactive research project and would probably be more enjoyable for the student.
