The above link will take you to the wiki that I started. It will obviously be different when school starts. Ms. Laforest and I will be teaching a combined class and will collaborate on things such as a class wiki. I can see that wikis are useful but am not sure I will use one in place of a website.
As part of the New Tech Foundation our students will be working on several major projects a semester. A group wiki would be an ideal tool for collaboration. Projects can be outlined and developed using a wiki. This would also allow us to monitor participation by tracking changes made by individual group members. Group participation will be a major component of student grades.
Wikis differ from blogs in that blogs are the work of an individual and wikis are a group effort. Each will have its place in class next year depending on the assignment. Blogs-individual wikis-group.
