Katie's+Podcast

Have you ever wondered how you can get your students excited about learning? If so, you should check out one of the best Web 2.0 technology known as wikis. In this podcast I will be discussing multiple ways a wiki can be used in the classroom, and how using a wiki will benefit the students, parents, and teacher. I will also discuss some examples of classroom wikis such as the //Webster Class Wiki// and //[|Mr. Webb’s Third Grade Class Wiki]//. My hope is that these wikis can serve as templates for your own classroom wiki and that you will understand why using Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom is so beneficial.
