Tool #6: wikis

I have used wikis with my students and loved it. They were required to post resources about their book club books and to have discussions with other students in the comments section, as well as respond to discussion questions and ask their own discussion questions. I had students in my class who thought everything else we did was "stupid," but they loved working in the wiki.


Is it perfect? No, of course not. But they were participating.

  1. Do you like using wikis or blogs better? They like doing anything on a laptop as well.

  2. I like them for different things. I actually like using them together. I like the wikis for discussion and the blogs for writing.
