Thing 16

I never knew what wikis were until this lesson. Getting my post on the sandbox was interesting. I kept looking for a box like this one for the blog to type in, but it wasn't there. Hmm. I guess I'm just not quite there yet technologically. This was really eye-opening because it seems so easy to use. I want to try it out before school starts on my own family to see how it all works together. Wikis would be great for kids to gather data on a given topic. If we are studying geography, I could see my students getting together using wikis to collect information about landforms, natural resources, bodies of water, etc and displaying that information in a variety of formats.
