As they say. I am currently enrolled in a short online course , Using Wikis in the Classroom. Considering the options and where I want to start. Probably with 3rd grade- the make or break year.
Right now I have a web page for my 3rd grade students to explore the topic Imagination. They look at links to Authors, J.K. Rowling, Chris Van Allsburg. Music, some program selections they listen to online and then write a reaction to two of the four pieces. A biography of Walt Disney; they must create a time line with three dates they think he used his imagination. Dreams is another section, using R.L. Stevenson's poem "Land of Nod" and a dreams chart. Students will make a drawing use some lables to describe they reactions to dreams and imagination. They must write about Rowling and her imagination where do the ideas come from?
I believe I could turn the webpage into a wiki and get a more immediate response and discussion going with the wiki. Some thing to think about.
