At first, I was having diffuclty finding a wiki to make a contribution. However, once I found a few educational wikis, I could not make a decision where I wanted to add information that I have obtained. After reading many useful wikis, my favorite was http://wiki.classroom20.com. There are many different topics to learn about or to contribute to within the wiki. To continue with the flow of this class, I updated the "Blogging" category of the wiki.
http://wiki.classroom20.com/Blogging
Here, I took what I learned in just a week of this class. One heading read "What blogging does for students," and there were many key ideas regarding blogging. However, I thought I could add two pieces:
- Encourage student participation from all grade levels
- Give repetitive and conventional assignments a "new look"
Since I'm a secondary (English) teacher, I find many appropriate ways to integrate blogs compared to my classmates. However, after reading through class, I learned all levels can introduce and utilize blogging. Also, from our first assignment, I learned how blogging can spice up assignments, such as book reports. Therefore, I included those little tidbits of information.
