Wiki Walk-Through is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, it is a website that give us the basics of what a wiki is. First, we find out that a wiki is a site that lets visitor participate. One thing this website said that i really liked is that a wiki is always "under revision." You can always add or take away anything on a wiki. Something interesting I learned, is that wiki comes from a Hawaiian word meaning quick or fast. Wikis can be used by anyone, not just teachers and students. This website also talks about the difference between a wiki and a blog. In a blog, you are only able to read the post and comment on it. With wiki, like I said before, you anyone is able to change or alter the post. I really liked the link that gave us ways to use wikis in the classroom. I think these could be really be useful in my future classroom. Whether I make the wiki or have the students do it in groups, I think they could be a great resource. Loved the idea of a using it for a virtual tour. I know that in special education, a lot of students learn better seeing what is being taught. This website has so many great ideas and even breaks them into grade levels and content areas. I think my favorite thing was looking at the examples of wikis that have already been created. This made it seem real and achievable for my to do one day. I have enjoyed creating and learning about wikis in our class so far.
