WIKI Use
Recently our district has begun to require teachers to use the in-house WIKI that has been developed. WIKIs can cut down on the amount of time groups are required to meet by making collaboration easier. WIKIs can also connect specialists across the district with one another so that the feeling of "isolation" can be decreased. Students can be shown a safe and appropriate use of a social networking site and be given an authentic audience for writing assignments. If all of these benefits exist, why or why does it seem so hard to have everyone move to using WIKIs?

Great news about the wiki requirement. Sometimes folks have to be led down a path. Not knowing where that path leads may be a little scary. If you try to line the path with a few flowers and shade trees, folks will begin to flock in that direction. Have a great school year!
