Wiki

I was kind of sold on blogs until I began reading about wikis.  Blogs seem easier to implement, but we'll see.  I can also see how each has it's own strength.  Blogs allows for chronological journaling and commenting on posts.  While wikis seem truly collaborative.  Users being allowed to edit entries really puts a whole different spin on the teaching process.  I expect students will feel so much more empowered when actually changing (or negotiating with others to change) existing work.  I'll have to play around more with pbwiki as I tried twice to create an account.  I waited for the email confirmation that never came so just proceeded as if I did, and got in ok.    I'm thinking of creating a Grade 4 wiki called "China Unit Study Guide".  I might break it into 3 or 4 pages? and let each class control 1 page.  I really like that you're forcing us to reference the NETS-S.  I now have it posted beside my monitor and it's really training me to refer to it as I teach my 'regular' classes.  The standard my idea references is digital citizenship as the lesson will support collaboration, learning and productivity.
