Wikis

As technology becomes more prevalent in our everyday lives, I am intrigued by the tools available to educators. This blog is an example of something that really didn't exist a few years ago, at least not in the mainstream. Today, teachers and students work with weblogs to publish their work and to have not only fellow students review and critique their work, but writers from around the world as well.

The latest technology tool I've come across is the Wiki. Many of you may have heard of wikis like Wikapedia. A wiki is a collaborative website that allows editing by a group of people. In this case the wiki I've created is going to be used for a collaborative effort at determining what a vision of excellence looks like at Guernsey-Sunrise schools. I'm still figuring out all the nuances of the tool, so there will probably be changes made, but the general idea is to have a page that people can add to and edit at their leisure.
