Thing 21!

I found some really great wiki's in my search (a number of them ended up on my delicious page!), and the biggest thing I noticed is just how much there is on each of these sites. I think I can see a few problems in using one in my classroom. First, it seems like a lot to put together on my own, especially when there are a lot of great resources out there anyway that are ready to use. This might be great as a department-wide thing when putting together ideas for labs or activities or common assessments. At this time, I can't really see a way to use this as a collaboration tool for my students. I hate to say this, but giving teenagers free reign to edit and add at will makes me a little nervous. It would take a lot of time on my part to monitor and stay on top of everything to be sure that it's appropriate content that they're adding. I think I'm going to spend some more time looking at the ones out there for ideas to see if there is a good way to bring this into my classroom.
