=Wikis in the Academy Hello= Open forums are great for higher education, however to locking of certain areas are beneficial to the safety of the students in lower educational classes. The writing process is important in all grade levels. I believe that shared writing is very beneficial and allows others to utilize editing processes which is very important for the LEAP writing process.

=This is a great technique. Hope I learn more.=

Hello.

Wikis in Education supports and encourages students writing. By participating in the Wikis experience students are reading, revising, tracking drafts and contributing their own thoughts on the immediate subject. This enhances students writing ability and prepares them for more formal writing experiences in the future.

Kay’s comments: I am thrilled to be learning about what and how to use a Wiki. __WikisIntheAcademy__ by Brian Lamb basically lets an uninformed reader/user of Wikis know that a Wikis can be used for about anything imaginable. It is a wonderful technological application to communicate your thoughts, ideas and invite other to engage in meaningful conversation for possible change and new visons. It can be used in classrooms, universities, homes, around the world, wherever. Andrea I would like to try this in my classroom. I want my students to write their ideas and thoughts in French.

more from me Great day!

Wikis are cool.
