Wiki+homework

=Post ideas for using wikis with your class. Include grade level :-)= I often have student groups outline and present their own lessons from a specific chapter. Overall, students often must work with their friends or students who live near them. Using wiki would allow them to create these lessons from home, upload their parts, and allow one group "manager" to edit the material. So, on the Junior High Level, they could create their presentation report, upload links to pictures and videos that go with it, and maybe add a podcast to read the whole thing! (B. Jensen)

I teach mathematics and confirmation. A wiki could be helpful as a tool to aid the students to link to different web sites for information on projects that they must complete for their confirmation. Also given me an avenue of communication with the parents to make certain that all due dates and information gets to them. Students at times filter what information their parents receive...simply by not giving it to them. I asa teacher hope that the information sent home gets to the parent, but now I could use they wiki as another source of communication./....Math interactive web sites are a great tool to help students sharpen their skills. These activities are not always do-able in the class, but could be made availabble through links on a wiki page for them to access at home.. (bl mcnamara)

Currently, my class is doing a unit on Japan. Groups could be assigned topics to research about Japan (geography, history, culture) and groups could update the wiki with what they have learned. Also, we use the mood meter, students could record their feelings when they check-in. (Liz Perrier gr.3)
