wikis

I have learned a lot about Wikis over the past few days. I think it would be an interesting addition to classroom instruction. It would be especially be interesting to create a wiki with a class outside of the county, but within the state--especially for 4th grade (NC History). Students could create posts that focus on their area of the state, and share with others.

The usual hesitation exist, privacy and maintaining internet safety with minors.

One of the things I REALLY like about this book are the sample assessment tools and organizers for the students. It will certainly save time during the process if I do not have to make up these forms from scratch. I think this intersects nicely with Bonk. He really advocates working with Web 2.0 technology, and especially out of school bounds--technologically speaking.
