I have created a wiki. I hope to use it with my 5th graders who are so anxious to use technology. I think it will be a great place for book discussions. It will give them time to process and write out what they think about what they are reading. It should help clarify their ideas by writing and reading other responses.
8/21/10 - I realized I hadn't really done anything on the wiki. I watched a video and discovered how truly easy it is! I made a list of books I read this summer. I read children's and adult books. I realized I need to read more books for me! Oh well, part of my job is to read for kids I guess and I do enjoy children's books.
I can see that it would be easy to let kids go to the wiki and then comment on the books once an initial list is there.
