Using a Classroom Wiki


Subjects:  Language Arts, Social Studies
Grade:  6
Technology tools:  Computer(s), LCD Projector
Tools used:  Interactive website, Video, Audio, Word processing, Communication tool, Collaboration tool
Activity type:  Lesson, Project, Assessment, Research


I use a classroom wiki for a variety of purposes.  I link webquests for student use, students post assignments, students edit the work of others and/or give feedback to others, I post review games, I post assignments, test reviews, etc.  Students use the comment sections to talk to each other and to me about various assignments and projects.   Students also upload assignments to the wiki for grading so they do not have to use paper!

Assessment is ongoing throughout the year and depends on the assignment.  Using a classroom wiki has been a success. This is the 3rd year I have used a classroom wiki.
