Thing 16: Wikis

The first thing I thought about when I got to the sandbox was how much easier that was to use than Google docs—although it does not actually create a document—so I don’t know why I was thinking that—other than perhaps I have done so much collaboration that way and through a million emails and “reply to all.” Using the sandbox is a much easier way to stay on topic and allow everyone t post what they want when they can—sort of like we have all been doing through FB this summer!

The curriculum ideas presented in the instruction part of the blog are great—it could even be a place where kids could post their section of a jig-sawed research assignment. In the library we could use wikis for book reviews by students or staff—like a bulletin board filled with book reviews. We could use it for suggestion box type of area—especially if we gave the log-in info out—no one would be self conscious about making a suggestion!
