Why Are You Waiting to Wiki?
November 8, 2007
Haven’t you heard there is free wiki space out there for you? Wikispaces.com is giving the first 100K teachers a free wiki space with no strings attached. Teachers listen to me, that means free!!! Do you hear the bells and whistles, free. We teachers live by this word. We have nothing and usually have less time for anything, so when something is free we must at least make an inquiry. So I am imploring you to do that with wiki spaces. Even if you have no interest at this point of using a wiki, SIGN UP NOW! There are less than 50k spaces left and I know that may sound like a lot, but it is free so why wait, and they won’t be there forever.
OK, so you might be asking why or how you would use a wiki? A wiki is a place where you can post student work on-line and have others read, edit, or comment on their work. You can create a private wiki just for your class, where they can only edit, but allow their parents to view their work at home. Just think no more sending home papers…..Am I tempting you a little more? Wikis can be used in a variety of ways to motivate your students and isn’t that one of the more difficult things to do as a teacher. So I am giving you a free motivational resource. I’ll show you how later.
So what are you waiting for go now!
