Thing #16

WOW! Wikis are pretty easy! I was amazed at how simple it was to edit and save on the sbisd sandbox wiki! I love the idea of using these to coordinate things with a group of people! So many times my email mailbox gets filled up with 10,000 forwarded email chains - especially when it is just my family trying to all get together for dinner!!! It seems a bit silly to create an entire website just to avoid a bunch of forwarded emails back and forth...but then again it is so much easier! It would be great for team planning - especially when we are planning big events, field trips, and units of study. I think kids would love it - though I am not sure how exactly it would work with little guys...any ideas?

You are now the Queen of Wikis! Your wiki for our book club is great and a great idea! Once you get started, more ideas generate quickly! As for younger kids, what if you created a research based one say on dinosaurs. You could make one with a generic login that all students could use. Students could login and type one fact about dinosaurs and import a pictures. Then you would have a whole database of dinosaur information. Just an idea! It would take a lot of teacher modeling, but once they got the idea, they could do it!
