I'm surprised how easy it was to set up a Wiki. Again, I think this would be a great tool for classroom resources and just sharing information with students. I think a Wiki is different from a blog in that a blog seems to be more one-way. For example, a teacher could send information via a blog to students and parents, but a Wiki seems more collaborative. Students could add to a Wiki and the site could develop based on the interests of the students and the resources they find to share. Here's my Wiki... Over time, I can add information to it, but at least it's a start!
My Wiki is called MathRules123.
Love the embedded video on your wiki homepage - it's one of my favorites!
ReplyDeleteAnd, blogs and wikis have additional differences - with wikis, you can keep track of all changes and edits that have been made to any wiki page. Both do allow for communication, but in different ways. Our department used a wiki as we updated our program guide, to post our progress and to allow all of us to access and edit the information. As you use each tool, you will see the differences and use them accordingly. But, you are definitely off to a great start!
