I loved the reading off of D2L for this week. I knew the basics to blogs and wikis but I liked reading more in depths about them. I had no idea what a digital story was though so it was interesting to learn about that.
I really liked the idea of the wikis actually. I had never thought of all the possible things they could be used for because I have never really used one before. This class is the first time I have ever used one for a class! This chapter had a lot of excellent ideas for ways to use wikis in the classroom. I loved the idea of the teacher having a wiki with all the things the students might need to print off if they lose anything. I also like having the wiki open to parents so that they know what their children are doing and also have a way to put their input in on things happening in the classroom! Parent involvement is always important.
I thought this chapter was interesting as well. I knew about blogs before but wasn't familiar with wiki's. I think it may be a different idea to use them, but for me it may take me awhile to get familiar with using it from a teacher position.
