Before this week's assignment, I really had no concept of what a Wiki is, besides the infamous Wikipedia. I was pleased to see that it is a very simple, straightforward website that can be implemented into a classroom for students and parents to use.
Even though I fully intend on using a Weebly site for my classroom, I would also like to try to use a Wiki. I like that the parents would have access to edit the website, especially for when trying to coordinate a class party, field trip, etc. It was also very simple to add a "widget", such as a calendar, slideshow, audio/video, map, etc. It allows a lot of flexibility for use.
I'm not sure that I would have this website directed towards the students specifically, unless they were given supervised time in the classroom to edit the wiki and add pictures of their projects. However, I really like the idea that the students could access this with their parents and be able to show off some of the things they've done in class. I will definitely try to incorporate this into my future classroom!
Here is an example of how to use it in a classroom setting.
