Wikispaces

I thought that using the wikis was quite fun. It was fun to learn about the different things you can put on your page and trying out the different tools too. In the wikispaces you can put music, videos, calendars, links, pictures, and many other features. I think it would be great to use in your classroom as a teacher, for your students, for yourself, or even with other faculty. It is a great way to communicate, be creative, be expressive, and teach in your classroom. As a teacher you can put assignments on the wikispaces, have your students make a portfolio of some kind, have your class schedule and class syllabus on the wiki, have different projects on your wiki for your students to complete, have a study guide for your students, or incorporate more than one class on the wiki. Since I have used a wiki before in a class in high school I felt more comfortable with the material presented. I knew about the widgets, links, files you can attach, and other features involved. However, it was good to have a refresher with the wikispaces, because I had forgotten how to use some of the features. I will surely use the wikispaces in my classroom or in the future as a teacher. I just think that wikis are a great technological advance and are a bunch of fun to use.
