What a great way to share ideas! I think Wiki would be a great tool to utilize in any classroom. Students/Teacher could use it as a tool to communicate ideas, resources, assignments, and use cooperative learning as a strategy of learning.
Wiki could be used as a learning tool very easily. The teacher could post a topic and then the students could use Wiki to add information or ideas which support the given topic(s). It could also be used as a voting/rating system, like we did with our colors activity today. I truly think the possibilities are endless. The best thing about using Wiki would be the involvement of all students. I can see students feeling more comfortable commenting on various topics through Wiki that may otherwise seem threatening to them in a classroom setting where they are expected to answer aloud in front of their peers.
Wiki could be used as an assessment tool by giving students basic questions where they work together to add all of the pieces of information needed to come up with the correct answers. They could also give input on answers and help one another find the proper solutions. Afterall, more brains are better than one!
