Wiki Filing Cabinet
. Teachers can store files, images, videos, and other information in a
special teacher access controlled area of the classroom Wiki.
One advantage is that the teacher can enter the information anytime and from anywhere using the
Internet. This is great for weekends or over the summer when teachers cannot enter their school.
Other examples of information that can be stored in a teacher’s Wiki filing cabinet are
information for upcoming newsletters, artifacts of student work, drafts of projects being
developed, everyday life in the classroom for a scrapbook, and backup resources.
Making Connections with Wikis in the Classroom
Integration of a Wiki in the classroom requires a new approach to teaching and learning
for
engaging students
. A traditionalists approach such as fill-in-the-blanks or presenting lecture
notes does not take advantage of a Wikis full potential.
Using a student-centered approach where students identify the blanks themselves and contribute
content are the beginning steps of integrating Wikis. To effectively integrate a Wiki in the
classroom, students must participate in the process of sharing information and demonstrating
understanding of content with the teacher and other students.
