Oh the world of wiki and the places to see and
things you could do with it. I think students would learn to love wiki. They
would be allowed to avoid actual face-to-face communication and feel more
comfortable collaborating with their peers online. Especially in middle school,
students have an increased sense of being shy or too embarrassed to express
their true feelings and ideas.
There are three main ways in which wiki’s would be used in my
classroom:
1.
Group/Whole Class assignments – In this situation, I would assign
students to complete word problems or any math problem for that matter. Each
student would complete only one step at a time for the problem until the final
resolution is found. Each student would be responsible for checking the
previous persons work and verify it is correct.
2.
Create a list of steps – For this, students would create a list and
explain each step to a specific math problem. Just like above, they would be
responsible for verifying correctness from the previous person. Having students
explain reasoning for each step makes their step concrete.
3.
Co-worker Collaborations – Many times teachers are expected to
create ideas to submit to the principal or staff. A wiki would help teachers be
able to save time by meeting face-to-face and be able to create the same if not
a better document. Some specific examples would be lesson plans, field trip
plans, celebrations or dances, etc.
Being able to post images, videos, documents, and links helps a lot
in making sure every person is on the same page. Wiki’s eliminate scattered
e-mail and missed or mixed messages.
