Week 6 of Cedo 535
The item that I have decided to use fully in my professional life is a class wiki. I am going on my 3rd week of using this now, and it is working very well. The students can easily access this and enjoy having a centralized place were they can see what we have been doing in class and have the opportunity to edit any information they feel needs to be changed. Since I have already started to incorporate this in my classroom, it is very easy to measure how well it is working for me. I can look at all of the edits made by the students and figure out how much participation the students are having within the wiki. I feel that this experiment will turn into something I use as a full time tool not just in my current Civics class, but in other classes I teach in the future. It really does make teaching easier and learning for the students a more interactive task.

You certainly are off to a fast start in using these technologies. I wonder what other things from class you could incorporate into your class. Have you considered having students blog and add those links to the Wiki? That might give them a more free form outlet for their thoughts in addition to answering questions for the Wiki. I also like your use of Eyejot as a way to send messages.
ReplyDeleteI haven't used blogging yet with my students, but I may start that in the future.
