Wikispaces

In this multimodal society, we as teachers have to come up with ways to meet the needs of the ikids in our classrooms. Incorporating technology in the curriculum is important. There are endless ways to explore technology but one I have yet to check out are wikis. Wikis allow for collaboration between several people on a single site. It's constant creating which allows the group to control the landscape of the website. Wikispaces is one site that allows for the creation of a wiki.

I think this could be a great project for students especially in the art classroom. They can create, communicate and collaborate. It gives them the capability to have a student-run site that is essentially their own. They could create a wiki of exemplar artists and research or their own site of artwork. This is an option I would like to learn more about and potentially use it in my future classroom.
