This course has forced me to acquaint myself with wikis. I'm very thankful because I think I have a much deeper understanding of them now and I finally feel ready to implement them in my classroom.
I have always believed that technology should not be incorporated in a classroom unless there is a solid curricular tie. The technology must also enhance the lesson in a way that could not be achieved without the technology. If these things are not met, then the technology can actually cause damage.
With wikis, the possibility for enhancing curriculum seems endless. In my case, I teach 4 sections of the same course. Students in period 1 never get to hear things that students in period 8 may say. With wikis, I can have students from all of the sections contribute their ideas in the same place. I can't wait to try it!
