WOW who knew Wiki's were not just for adults. That is what I thought. I have heard and heard about Wiki's and seen adult Wiki's but I have never seen ones that students have produced. Exceptionally Kindergartner's, who knew. It was amazing to see all the collaboration taken place through a Wiki page. It is also wonderful to see it being relevant to the real world of technology. I looked through a lot of the Wiki pages created by teachers and students. I chose to discuss the one's that are around my grade level.
First- Go West by third graders. You can clearly see the students created the work, they have published their name on it. It is amazing to see what students actually learn in the classroom. I hope parent's visit these Wiki's that their child has created. Hopefully the students will not go home anymore saying they didn't learn anything at school today. The flowcharts helped to see exactly what was being learned during the west. Way to go third graders. I like everything about this Wiki.
Second- I chose the Kindergarten counting. I was astonished to see Kindergartners creating a Wiki. It doesn't seem like a lot the students counting to 100 but for those younger students that is fabulous. I wonder though did the students take the pictures or the teacher. I also wonder if they got to choose what they used to display their number. That should have been stated somewhere in the Wiki. Other than those few minor details it was great!
Third- Salute to Seuss this could have been completed by any student. It was fantastic. I could see my school using this also. We take a whole week in honoring Dr. Seuss. We dress up each day out of the week and the students really enjoy it. I believe our school would enjoy this to see everyone effort to create a Wiki. The only thing I would change on this Wiki is have the students work to start the Wiki not embedded inside of it. The creation completed by the students is the most important part so show it off. This is a terrific Wiki any age child could complete.
