This was great. First let me begin my saying that I loved reading about what Vikki Davis did with her middle school students and how far they took the basic knowledge she gave them. This basically sums up what we read about in the first articles about the importance of Web 2.0. Making the kids active participants in their learning.
I also enjoyed the educational wiki's Kathy included in our assignment. I looked at the 1st grade and 4th grade wiki. I loved how parents, grandparents, etc. could add information about when they went to school. In the past I have taught my 2nd grade FOCUS students about schools of the past and I have had parents write letters (something unheard of these days). However, I love the wiki idea even better. I really enjoyed the educational wiki relating to the 4th grade class and their use of the wiki for Tuck Everlasting. I could definitely see how this could be used in my focus classroom with the book study we will be doing next year.
