This week I finished up my Wiki space, which I plan to use with my U.S. history students in the fall. Overall, I thought that creating a Wiki was pretty fun and interesting. I am interested to see how my students like utilizing the resources from this source, which will actually allow me to utilize less paper in the classroom. I also think that the possibility for collaboration is a really nice aspect of Wiki spaces and hope that it would encourage/create even more in class discussions concerning the material being covered.
Also, using TokBox to create a video recording was a fun activity, which is another tool that I could see having my students use next year as a way to present material and/or ideas that they have learned.

I also thought that TokBox was a really easy way to create a video message. I liked how we could just send a link in an email. This might be nice for some students to share their thoughts with you before they share them with their peers. How are you thinking about integrating it into your classroom? Would you want to share that with your entire class or only some assignments. I think it could work either way.
ReplyDeleteAs long as my school district does not block it, I could see integrating that tool into my teaching next year.
