Thing #15

I could use a Wiki for having my students post about their experiences after taking a field trip. We could have this giant class story about it. I wonder if they could be used when organizing a party, too. Something as simple as a Christmas party could be organized by the students while I supervise it. They could make lists of the food, drinks, music, etc. that they would like to bring. I could tell them to check back at a certain time with my final approval. In this way, the party planning wouldn't have to take away from class time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that there are many ways that this could be used. I like how it functions a lot like a group in Facebook. Once your members are there, the planning and fun beings. Students are already familiar with Facebook's groups, so it wouldn't take them any time at all to grasp this. In my school system, Facebook is blocked, but most wikis are available to use; that's another plus for this concept.
