Creating a wiki for the students to use in Kindergarten is difficult since the children have not had time to learn how to use a computer independently. I created a wiki to have the parents sign up for volunteering opportunities in the classroom. Another idea for a wiki would be a Thanksgiving/Winter Break/Spring Break journal. Each child would create a journal page at home with their families and we would view the whole journal in class.

I like your idea for the parents to access the wiki at home. I bet the students would be able to catch on if they were exposed to technology more often :). It would be neat for parents to assist their child with some type of project and then you can discuss it and show it to the students at school!
ReplyDeleteI think using a wiki as a parent tool is a great way kindergarten can use this resource.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you are including parents in the project. I think this might even be a good way to involve the parents of my fifth graders in their child's assignments as it can help them learn what kinds of posts would be considered appropriate/inappropriate. Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas, Victoria. I like how you always try to figure out how each week's assignment has relevance for your classroom. We could also set up a wiki for some more reading buddy time! :)
