PB Wiki

I started playing more with PB Wiki after class recently, and I have discovered how to set up classes. I think that this could be a useful tool for upcoming discussions on topics of history. I would like to pose questions for students and then have them answer/ build on each others. Overall, I think this this would be a great tool to start off 2nd quarter with-- giving the students something new to use. I believe it could be useful, espeically for the quieter students, who many times don't feel comfortable sharing orally. Hopefully, this would give them an oultet to add their opinion.

I think it's a great idea to introduce it second quarter. Although establishing classroom routines is important, having something new to try can be a great way to keep kids' interest. Plus, it will be nice to figure out how you want to use the blog. Kelly and I jumped in last year, and learned a lot about thinking things through and giving students clearer directions.

I think you are on to something. This sounds like a great way to use a wiki. Let us know how it goes.
