Thing # 15

I had no idea before Thing # 15 what a Wiki was, before I had only seen the work Wiki a few times when I googled a definition of a word. I think Wikis’ are really neat. I found it interesting how easy it is to share information and that anyone can make alterations on anyone elses work. A Wiki could be a great collaboration tool for students in a classroom. It would be a very valuable way for students to communicate with each other outside of the classroom and build on each others ideas. In addition, a teacher could use a Wiki as a way to have an interactive lesson online. For example a student could write an answer to a question, and then the student could write the next question for their classmate. It would be a lesson that would go beyond just answering questions, and give them an opportunity to have more in-depth thoughts about the lesson they are learning.
