Thoughts on Wikis

I found the "Practice Working in Wiki" to be very helpful. To have a practice page to work on before making our actual page was great for reducing some of the stress.

I am not sure how Wikis would be received in a class of elementary students who are deaf. Most of my students take serious ownership of their work and I am not sure how they would accept another student editing or even deleting something they had done. They very likely would not think to ask permission first if they thought they had a better idea or a better way to do it - they would just simply change it because, in their opinion, they made it better. It might be interesting to plan a project using Wikis and see how it is received.
