Hi Class: This wiki assignment was interesting. Originally, when I was trying to get my ideas together on what I wanted to do I did not think that my students could use this. However, after collaborating with my assistant we discussed how this idea could work for us. There never seems to be anytime for writing in our class. It feels to me that it is always rushed. This wiki was set up with the idea of doing our writing workshop online every day piece by piece with collaborating partners. This will give the students not only the opportunity to colloborate and work on each part of the writing process with time but also the opportunity to participate with new technology which I think is great. Each day of the week will correspond with the students doing one part of the five step writing process. I can use this wiki as an opportunity to conference with my students as well seeing if they are able to follow the plan that is set up for them. This would be time efficient as well as possibly allowing the parents to work with their child on homework.

I would use this wiki for all subjects because I only have one class. The main focus would not be content delivery but more of a place where I can deliver a repetition of instruction to continue to enhance and master their writing skills as well as other skills as needed. I can use if for online indivdual portfolios and a way for parents to see progress over time. I do not assign many collaborative projects but I could see myself using it for some of my higher functioning kids. I also thought of using it for a summer project with some of my independent students. I do not see myself using this for colloborative notetaking right now but that may be a future goal.
