I actually was invited to join a Wiki by my librarian (thanks Susan) last year. I was interested to see all the classroom uses for a Wiki. I think the one I am most intersted in is a Wiki for language arts. Students can create a story using a Wiki that that can be accessed by all. The story can be created by kids, changed by kids and edited by kids. What a great idea! A living story. This would also be a great tool for peer editing. It could also be used for vocabulary words, giving students the chance to write down what they think a word means by using the context. Students could comment on each others thoughts.
Seeing as writing is quite a chore for some of my students, this would be a creative way to get them to write!
