Describe a wiki you found that inspires you to create one of your own.
The Hanalee Book Wiki done by
5th graders studying the novel, Turn Homeward, Hannalee
http://wiki.woodward.edu/hannalee/doku.php?id=hannalee
It really shows the potential use of a wiki well. It incorporates podcasts of readers theater performances and a civil war song, slideshows of illustrated idioms and objects of items discussed in the novel, and timelines, maps and glossaries.
What hurdles might stand in the way of your using a wiki?
Well, for me a hurdle in using a Wiki like the one mentioned would be to find a teacher to collaborate with in using this technology. This is a great example though, and it sells itself pretty well.
What would it take to remove the hurdles?
Would it be worth it?
It would take time to slog through learning to incorporate the things I learned in this class, but yeah, I think it would be worth it for the experience of doing a collaborative work like this. The nice thing is that as a media teacher who is split between two buildings, I could participate and offer technical assistance and resources on an ongoing basis without physically being in the classroom all the time. The work can take place in the classroom, computer lab and library or even at home.
