Here is a link to my classroom wiki. On this page, students should be looking for the space shapes they are learning about at school at home and listing the objects under each space shape. This will give a real-life application to our upcoming math unit.
Ms Heuberger's Wiki
I can definitely see the use of wiki's for older students at home. It would provide an easy way to collaborate with their peers. It would also give the teacher an easy way to assess by observing which students respond and post to the wiki. I do not really see this as a useful application for my first grade students, however. They would need a lot of guidance and support from parents to access the computer, the internet and the wiki. This would make it a difficult and possibly frustrating task for our families and students.
I can see your point on how this could be difficult for the younger students, and we have to remember the fact that not everyone has internet access at home.
