Vicky Flaherty Prudence Island School Grades K-5 Portsmouth School Dept http://melville2.wikispaces.com/READING With a wiki you can create simple web pages that teachers, parents, and students can edit and work on together. It is a living collaboration whose purpose is the sharing of the creative process and product by many. Wikis are an exceptionally useful tool for getting students, parents, and teachers more involved in curriculum. They’re appealing and fun for students to use, while at the same time ideal for encouraging participation, collaboration, and interaction. The different topics engage students by providing highly interactive activities, content-rich simulations, educational games, drill and practice, puzzles, videos, tutorials, problem solving activities, and quizzes. The links at http://melville2.wikispaces.com are motivating and children will have fun while they are learning. The internet is a powerful educational tool. Learning takes place at different levels, and the site offers a unique interactive medium for creating an exciting and varied learning experience. Wikispaces is a great way to engage parents and students outside of the classroom!
