WEEK 7, #16: Wikis

I really like the idea of a wiki, but I'm stuck trying to get my head around exactly how it would work for the kids in my classroom. I mean, I'd love a wiki where I can give kids access to some pages, but not others. All of the wikis I've seen have had general access control, but nothing quite that specific. Maybe I just don't understand what to look for!

I think that a wiki has a grand possibility as an e-portfolio!

Here are some wikis I found that I think could be good models for me to work from:

Arbor Heights Elementary School Wiki

Mrs. Abernethy's Global Gorillas (5th grade?)

http://globalgorillas.wikispaces.com/

Hobbitalk - Home

I'm jazzed about stumbling across this wiki because I just read the book to my class for the first time. This wiki is not only a great sample, but it is a wonderful resource!
