Wiki

I didn't think the Wiki page was as easy to use as I was thinking it would be. I am still thinking that it would a good place for students to share with each other. I have students do a lot of research on the countries we are cooking from. It would be helpful for the students (and I) to pool their information on a Wiki.

Yes, after a LONG break, I am back at this 23 things thing. I do want to finish. I enjoyed looked at the Wiki's and think it could be a great tool for a classroom. I choose to blog about the idea of using Wikipedia for research. This drives me crazy! Students use Wikipedia and forget that they could add information, false information, to a page. My husband works for a man and part of his job is to go on Wikipedia occasionally and correct all the incorrect information that has been posted. Because of this experience, I feel comfortable in saying NO to my students when they want to use it as research. I can see how having it as a place for students to post to and share with each other could be helpful- they serve different purposes and have different advantages and disadvantages.
