Although Vicki's Wiki experience seemed very exciting, I just don't see it in my teaching future. I teach Kindergarten. I could see maybe a Third or Fourth grade class creating a Wiki page and we could enjoy experiencing some of their pages but teaching a Kindergartner to do one on their own is not practical (i don't think).
I explored:
The Kindergarten Counting Wiki. I am confused as to weather it is a wiki or a blog or a page on the wetpaint website. I did add it as a bookmark on my delicious account because it is pretty cool and an example of something we can this coming year in my class to integrate technology in my Kinder class.
The Salute to Seuss wiki. I can definitely see that this is a wiki. I look forward to learning about how to make my wiki have those links on the sides. I see myself making a wiki, adding some of my delicious sites there and teaching my students how to access my wiki then clicking on the places they want to explore.
The Code Blue wiki. This to looks like a wiki to me. This will be a personal web site for me. My son loves this kind of stuff. We spent a lot of time following the links and I think his Science will thank me when they start back this fall.
In conclusion, I have had the attitude of "What in the world do I need a wiki for?" but after exploring the different wiki's of other teachers I can see a place for wiki's in my future. Thank you for providing those to me.
