Set Sail With Technology Week 5

There are so many things I've never heard of...wiki is one of them! Although I think using a wiki would be a great way to use to collaborate with colleagues, I'm not sure how many of mine would be willing to use it with me. This past year, there seemed to be a lot of confusion when we were planning our Field Day. With the use of a wiki, I could see this process running much more smoothly. Also, when getting ready for math tournaments, we could use a wiki to keep track of students that will be moving to the next level without using email or pencil and paper. What makes a wiki easier to use with a group of people, compared to a blog, is that it appears to be more user friendly. With using just the three buttons, edit, save and link, even my students would be able to use a wiki. I'm not sure that I could use the wikis with a whole class, I'm sure that small groups could use it. For example, our C.H.I.C.K.E.N. Club officers (our fourth grade student council) could use a wiki when scheduling, planning and organizing different functions. Parents may also even want to use a wiki to plan school activities such as fundraisers or class parties.
