Over the past week, those of us in the elementary education program in our class section created a resource wiki. We were all responsible for the front page, the layout, font, and ordering of the resources in the wiki; furthermore, we individually had to find five educational student websites to annotate for the content pages in the wiki.
I believe this experience was useful. We were able to collaborate to create an easily accessible consortium of resources in various content areas that we can use when we are teachers.
It was also a good experience because I was able to get a better idea of the resources that are out there that I would not have not considered before. These websites could potentially help my students in great ways, and it's important that I give my students all the help that is available.
This project could be used in my classroom one day for a group research project. The wiki makes collaboration easier. But instead of finding educational websites for children like we did for our assignment, my students could use this to find articles or other resources they can reference for whatever their group projects are.
