Thing 9: Playing with Wiki's

The Technology Poppers for Classrooms is a great wiki. I read over the poppers other students had added to the wiki, and they are all very informative. I then added my popper about using Storybird in the classroom; I learned about Storybird in the previous technology class I took with Dr. Wilson and I love the Web 2.0. It is a great way for students to work together in creating their own book. They can then share their books with other students and parents. It was very easy to add my popper, which is why I think wikis are so popular.

Teachers and students can create wikis for many purposes about various subjects. Teachers can create wikis to share ideas and information on using manipulatives, technology, and other materials in the classroom that other teachers and parents might not know how to use. Students can work on a project in the wiki, which allows them to use technology and share their findings with each other. There are many uses for a wiki, which I hope to incorporate in my future classroom.
