Tool #6

IN YOUR BLOG post, discuss how students might use wikis to aid in their learning. Did any of the sample wikis you viewed give you any particular ideas for using a wiki in your classroom for students. How about for and your team or department?

The sample wiki "Center of Mass" was particularly interesting. I liked the manner in which it was defined, samples of objects given, then more intricate objects, and then a trick that can be done by anyone with a soda can. This definitely appeals to students. From my perspective, it was basically a science experiment gone "viral." This will be a great way to explore scientific inquiries based on scientific facts. The first thing that comes to mind is that this is a great way to post a scientific process, etc. Students will certainly be engaged.

From a "team" perspective, this is a great way to share information on ELL's (being a bilingual teacher) and Science, since this is what I will be teaching next year.
