Tool #6

Wikis are useful because they allow students to collaborate and share ideas in real time. Again, just like Google Docs, if one students writes something, another can see what his classmates are writing and add to it. I love having everything in one place for all the students to easily be able to access. I like the ideas on the Teachers First website to use wikis for online writer’s workshop with suggested revisions from classmates. Students can post their drafts and collaborate with other classmates to edit and revise. I think wikis encourage student-centered learning. It allows students to build web pages, embed images & video, and post documents.
