Thing #16-Wikis
I am still hesitant with the whole Wiki thing. Call me a control freak! I am learning as I get older that I do lean towards that personality trait (disorder...haha). I try to not let myself become closed-minded, though. I also understand that I will never truly know if I like something until I get out there and try it. So, my plan is to try using a Wiki with the teachers on my campus first. Many times throughout the year I need their input on something I am planning for the school/grade level. I get so frustrated with the back and forth email thing. I would like to try using a Wiki for this collaborative planning. If this goes well, I could see myself venturing out to using a Wiki with the kids.
WIKI's might also be a way for the librarians to communicate ....like you I get very frustrated with the duplications and confusion of emails....this way we could "all chime in" and avoid some of the confusion of emails.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of collaborative planning...our Eduphoria gives us some of that capability but the Wiki is another good resource.
