I have created my own wiki this week to explore the uses of this in the classroom.
There are many benefits of using a wiki in class.
However, I did find making a wiki to be quite difficult, and it is hard to choose where to put different information, so I would only use this with an upper KS2 class.
- Children can start writing about what they know and then add to it as they learn.
- They can access this from home and show family/friends.
- They can alter any information that arose from misconceptions.
- They are easy to make and last forever.
- They can be used for any topic!
