Wikispaces

Wikispaces was the technology required to complete Assignment 3. As mentioned in a previous post, I was not look forward to this assignment and was completely overwhelmed by it. OMG! Was I wrong! I have never had so much fun completing an assignment task. I had three fantastic members in my group - The Fantastic Four - who worked so well together. Everyone was given their own set task to complete and we would email regularly to provide updates to each other on where we were at. I don't believe anyone in this group did not pull their weight - everyone found something to contribute based on their strengths. The only problem I encountered with this task was not knowing when to stop! That was the beauty of creating a wiki - there is no end to it. Everytime I completed a page or a task, I was inspired to create a link to it. Once that link was completed, I was inspired to link that to another page, activity or learning experience. There just was no end to it. I loved it! I can not wait to use this tool in the classroom. I discovered you could create individual learning pages for individual students to work on. That everyone - teachers and students - could contribute to the resources available on the wiki. I am excited!
