Wonderful Wiki

I really enjoyed doing the wiki in class on Monday. It was very easy to do and I think that my children would love to do these. Using wiki's would be a great way to assess students understanding. I think I am going to start a wiki with my literature circle group. I will let you know how things go.
Wiki Update
My class has been learning about matter. I wanted a different way to assess their understanding, so I decided to let them do a wiki. I am still learning exactly how to use them, but I was happy with our first product. Our wiki is still a work in progress, but I was able to see how much my students had learned. Even the students who are normally quiet were involved. I am still planning on doing a wiki with my literature circle group. We have been reading Flat Stanley and are going to do research on different community helpers.
