According to our most recent poll, readers found the wiki the most helpful piece of technology that we used this year.
I assumed that we would have more people excited about the live blogging (Fishbowl Method) because of the immediate feedback opportunities, but I was proved wrong. Maybe elementary students want to know that they are being read by more of an international audience, not just their peers in the lab.
As for the wiki, the (former) class is using it in a variety of ways. Some use it as a poetry publishing tool for an unlimited audience. Others use it as a way to communicate with other peers/classmates by using the wiki-mail feature during the summer. A group of Trailblazers have formed their own wiki for 2008 Alumni and are currently adding more visual content instead of language.
Please feel free to post comments about the wiki either as a comment on this page, or go to the wiki to start your own discussion. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
