Edmondson says in his article that "Teachers have to learn to communicate in the language and style of their students" who knew that this language was actually technology. I absolutely loved the whole idea in this article, it made me excited for my classroom in the future. I love the idea of setting the wiki up like a collaborative Facebook to use in a literary circle. I like that students still get to take turns with the jobs and that there is something required every night and in class; it gives a lot of opportunity for participation and learning.
I had one idea to add to this activity. I think I would give an extra credit option as well. If the students would like, as extra credit, I would ask them to keep a separate wiki page as a personal journal. This would be somewhere to reflect on the project and what they did and did not like. With this the student can learn more about themselves and I can learn things that can help me better the assignment.
