Tool # 6: Wikis

I created an account at http://teachersfirst.pbworks.com/ and had fun playing, creating and editing existing documents.

Wikis are great tools for anybody; it develops true teamwork skills and increases students’ engagement.

Teachers can collaborate on lesson plans, committees, preparation of field trips, parents’ meetings and as many school events as you can think about.

Pre-k students will need a lot of support using them, but they can participate giving opinions/descriptions of a field trip, favorite things, etc.

Also, before we create any wiki I think it is very important to have clarity about the policies related to students’ confidentiality.
