Thing 15

A wiki is a unique concept that only reiterates how technology is moving forward and tied with education. This is a great way for the teacher to create a wiki and let his or her students show their creative side, but also learn something. By being able to add and edit, this gives the students freedom to explain or explore in a way they enjoy. One student may learn better by charts, so that can be posted the wiki before an exam or another student may learn better by pictures, so they can post that and maybe it might help another student prepare for an exam. I could see wiki being used in the upper grade levels and middle school, depending on how much elementary students have access to a computer. It is amazing the tools people come up with and I have to say this one expresses individuality and a personal way of learning and sharing.
