Chapter 4

Ok, wikis, I really do get it. However, I still am having trouble envisioning the pervasive use of them in my classroom. Perhaps, that is my hang-up. It does not necessarily have to be a pervasive use wikis. As an English teacher, I can see the use of the wiki with the teaching of feature articles. Also, and probably more relevant, I can see the use of wikis with exploring background information and way-in texts with working with certain literary works. I do think that in a situation in which the teacher has a "smart" classroom and all the students have proper computer/internet access, that the use of a wiki in the classroom could be very useful for many diverse aspects of the classroom community.
