Wikis+in+our+classrooms

What can we do with a wiki? In which ways can we use a wiki? Can you think of some activities for your pupils? Add your ideas and write your name next to them.


 * Writing a story collaboratively (Rosamaria)
 * Everybody can show and share different resources. It is a practical tool for teachers and also for pupils, (Sandra Benete)
 * We can work together and everybody can express their ideas. For our pupils we can create cocking recipes, instruccions ... (Maribel Vilà)
 * The students can work in a more collaborative way. They can share their ideas, share information, help each other, etc. (Judith Peral)
 * In __**project**__ work, where students work in groups could be very useful to use a wiki. An example comes from direct experience on working with clocks and time. Every group had to find information and write about different types of tools for measuring time: candles, water clocks, sun clocks, etc. We could have posted the information and all the images! We could also have created links to different webpages. **(Maggie** Garrido)
 * when working with **vocabulary,** you can very well use a wiki to make **__lists__** as the ones in the video example. If you are introducing food, make two or three lists of the types of food items which are healthy or unhealthy, dairy products, meat and fish, etc. **(Maggie** Garrido)
 * It can be an extension of the lesson of the day, that means when a pupil is ill for many days, it doesn't mean that he or she is losing an important subject, the student can be doing the same tasks as his mates by doing online on the wiki. (Mar Garriga)


 * Working in a project about any topic pupils have to look for any information and then explain all they have to theis classmates. Once we all have the information we can work together at home or in the class. In this way we can share all the info and make a totally collaborative work.(Elisabet G)


 * Everybody can show and share their ideas, can create a project, etc. It's an interesting and collaborative working. (Laura G)


 * We could make the project of the name of the animal of our class on a Wiki. If we are crocodiles, each child could add some information, photos, videos... about crocodiles and share it with teh families instead of just being on the wall of the class. (Laura Calzado)


 * As we can see, wikis can be used in many different ways. For instance, If we as a teachers start a project, children can give his/her ideas and they do not need to be there at the present moment. So, if they can go to school that they, they can do it from home or anywhere. (Anna C)
