Thing#16: Learn About Wikis

There seems to be an endless amount of possibilities for using Wiki in the classroom. I plan on using the pbWiki to create a Classroom Journal of what the classroom is currently studying, special activities, as well as a podcast of students' writings and Reader's Theater. I would also like to set up a link where students would give feedback to an assigned homework reading.The Wiki will be a wonderful tool for building communication between teacher, students and parents.
Another Summer Player has already set up our grade level language arts Wiki and we have begun collaborating ideas for the coming school year. This will save valuable time for those with conflicting schedules to meet as a team. all ideas will be shared, and much more will be accomplished. No more barrage of E-mails that often go unread:)

I LOVE your idea for the wiki as a means of communication, and am totally going to steal it! You're so smart! :)
