Our Very Own WIKI Page!

Yesterday, I introduced WIKI pages to my seventh grade literature classes. I set one up with a very basic question about a book we had just finished. I gave them a week to find time to complete the question, and I sent them home with directions for logging on and high hopes for the outcome!

I checked the progress at about 8:00 last night. To my surprise, 16 students had already logged in and completed the question! They were so excited about it this morning. They told me they want to do these all the time. They only encountered one slight problem. They found out that two students couldn't edit the page at the same time. They had to wait until the student working was done. No one seemed very upset by that though.

It was a really good experience and one I will definitely repeat!
