WIKIS in the Classroom article

The author suggested several uses for a WIKI in the classroom. One was for a group of teachers to build a curriculum. This probably isn't practical for us. The next idea was to have students use a WIKI for a group assignment. In ESL this might be something to try for upper level students. I might have students with some type of similar interest collect information about that interest. He also suggested giving a pre-reading assignment and then getting the students to ask questions before the next class. This is a possible idea especially in a reading class. The students might have questions about the vocabulary or they might not understand a particular passage. A student's writing can also be available on the WIKI for peer review. The author mentioned two possible problems. One is not having enough computers in classrooms, or, in our case, not having computer labs with all the computers in working condition.
