Engage students by collaborating with a wiki! Choose a topic for discussion and allow students to express ideas and add content in a shared space. With your permission, they may even make changes to existing content.
What Are You Trying To Teach?
No matter the content, you can get students sharing. Here are a few examples:
Math- Share your thinking behind your problem solving in this Algebraic Equation.
English- Shakespeare? Share your thoughts on the mental stability of Macbeth.
Science- Explain the difference between a chemical change and a physical change.
Social Studies- How has alternative housing (Straw & Bale, Yurts) helped to reduce the carbon footprint of these homeowners?
Your options are limited only by your imagination. Class discussions just got more exciting. Those who hesitate to participate in the room, may share on your wiki.
