Wikis

For this week, we were to check out wikis - look at the videos, read some articles and check out some wikis. The demonstration video totally made sense. What a great way to get together with people for planning - I'm all about planning the party and who can bring what.
Now, how will I use this in my classroom? Well, the kindergarten counting book was awesome. I love that idea! Here is my fear - will my parents help, will it be a successful project or will I need to get all my friends to do it?!?! I looked at two other wikis, the first graders who interviewed family about what school was like long ago - great idea and I especially loved how the teacher had given good directions and what the whole project was about for her students. I looked at the second grade wiki site and this one also had good directions and what you would be able to find, but there were not many updates, some pages blank - oh owwww - would that be me? I'll make this site and then not touch it after the first day!
Again, questions, I have questions. I love what technology can do for my kiddos, but since they really can not get on a computer alone and need lots of help, will they be able to take advantage of all this great technology. I'll just keep plugging away!
