Tool #6

I had never heard of a wiki before! I am start to feel very out of touch with all this technology stuff. I really like the idea of using a wiki for writing narratives. Writing is a difficult subject to teach because it is hard to get some students involved and motivated to write. By writing using a wiki I think that would really draw those students in. Not to mention it would be a great way to do peer editing. We could start out doing a shared writing and editing it together using a wiki and displaying it on the activboard. Then each child could have their own wiki and peer editing could be done as part of a station. Students could see how much their story changes!

I think it would also be beneficial for teachers because it is another way to collaborate and share ideas with others.
