I have been looking at the free wiki space that has been set up for me via this blog. Perhaps the use of a class wiki could add another dimension to writing in class. Group and collaborative work can be included and a constant history of changes and edits can be seen. The class wiki might include different spaces on different subjects – such as History>World War 2 and a space for the children to write and gather together any research that is done. It would be an interesting lesson to explore using the ICT suite and then reviewing our work back in class.

There could also be a link to historical work here – at the beginning of units we explore the questions we want to find out – these could be posted on the wiki or on the blog and then answers gathered throughout the unit.

I expect that as I use both the BLOG and WIKI more I will appreciate the differences more than I do now.
