Potential use of wikis

After learning about wikis I definitely see the potential that they have for the classroom. They are a great way for the teacher to build classroom community. With a wiki the teacher is able to keep the parents and students informed on what is going on the classroom on a regular basis. Sometimes notes will not make it home to parents or the students are just not good at letting their parents know what is going on in class. With a wiki parents will have access to whatever you want them to be informed about. I think I have more of a willingness to include wikis in my classroom now that I have gained some experience in using them. I see the potential they have and how they can be very useful in my classroom.

wikis

The idea of using wikis in the classroom excites me...I think it would be great for getting students to write and as a "peer editing" tool. The only concern I have with this is that in a wiki anyone can write anything so hopefully the students will be nice and respectful to each other.
