Working on a Wiki
Brian and I hosted a parent meeting last Thursday to introduce the Pond Partners Wiki. Our goal was to provide parents with information about what a wiki is, how it is used, why we choose to create one for the project, and how their child can contribute and collaborate from home. If you want to see and hear more, check out the ustream.tv video of the meeting.
I checked the wiki last night and two students have already worked on it from home. This is exactly what we were hoping for – to have students add their own knowledge, reflections, and questions to this shared space independent of their teacher and school. For this first attempt with using a wiki, so far I’m pretty excited. I’d love to hear more ideas about ways to continue to foster this experience for the students.
