Technology in the Classroom: Wikis
Wikis, blogs, and other interactive messaging tools can help history teachers stimulate classroom response and discussion. Wiki Wisdom: Lessons for Educators (EdWeek, September 12, 2007) by instructional-technology coach Kristin Hokason explains the value of wikis as educational tools, emphasizes their ease of use, and lists considerations accompanying their integration into the classroom.
The article points to the benefit of wikis for classroom collaboration and for teacher monitoring of collaborative projects, but also addresses their value to educators as tools for professional discussion and materials sharing.
