Thing # 15

How interesting to know that "wiki" is a Hawaiian word meaning quick! I watched the YouTube video, which was quite cute and informative, and read several of the articles about the wiki. It seems to be quite the thing for planning. I can see many uses...including coordinating our Scouting events! We have people from all over the Metroplex area trying to plan a weekend or week, so what a great help this would be! The sample wiki for the AP world history class looked wonderful. When my son was in Mrs. Muhl's class, they had vertical teams to discuss literary works. This would have been a great tool for them. I was also very impressed with Mesquite ISD Library Policies and Procedures. No wonder we have such great librarians in MISD!!

It does seem a perfect tool to use for collaboration with students.
