Tool #6 WIKIS

Today I discovered what a WIKI is and how it is used. This may work well for a writer's workshop lesson (introducing the writing process steps). Together as a whole class we can write a story. Then enter the short story in a wiki. Once complete, students can visit the WIKI at a workstation and edit the story to make it more interesting. Students will truly enjoy the editing process by adding or deleting any wording. Finally we can read both stories and vote on which one they like better and we can share the story with other classrooms at our school. This will allow all students to participate and it's collaborative. LOVE IT!!!
