What a great tool to use in the classroom! There are countless ways that a teacher can utilize wikis with students. My son's class made a Wiki to say good-bye to seventh grade. I got to see how each child contributed to the wiki. The teacher gave them a list of things they could add to the wiki and they were to choose 5 or 6. Some of the things included were: an acrostic poem, things you learned, advice for incoming 7th graders, plans for summer, etc. Each child incorporated links, images, power points and more. I was really impressed.
For my classroom, I could see using a Wiki with photos, icons and images that are linked to websites and other images to include things surrounding a theme, the students' favorite websites, or music. I don't feel that I can fully appreciate the use of a Wiki with my class until I can brainstorm the idea with other life skills teachers.
For life skills teachers in the district, I think it would be a very valuable tool to plan district functions, e.g. study trips, Special Olympics/field day, meetings.
