I was pleasantly surprised when I was introduced to using a Wiki. I had never used them before, but they are truly a wonderful tool! It is so easy to make information readily available to a peer group for editing and collaborating for a group project.
I was a little skeptical when we were linking all of our pages to the home page, although it made it so much easier to navigate the page. I am not sure how younger children will be able to navigate a page that I create for them. The link would have to be of a very large font, and formatted in such a way that would make it easy for their little eyes to see. I think that this would be a great tool for use with upper elementary aged children when they are working on a small scale research project. It would be very easy to make the appropriate research tools available on one page, and have them brainstorm on their own group page. I hope to learn more about this awesome resource!
