Today we began our instruction on wikis. It was fun to be able to edit the wikis and get everything set up on there. It was difficult that the page is locked every time someone else is editing it, and I think that some people's things got deleted. I am glad that we are learning about these things because I think that it will be very useful to be able to use wikis in the future. I do not think that I will be using wikis with my students seeing as they will be kindergartners, but I do think that the ability to create and maintain a wiki can come in handy. As a teacher, I think that I will use a wiki along with other teachers to post lesson plans or websites that can be helpful either for teaching, or for the children to use in the classroom. I think that this is a good way to share information that other teachers are getting and try new things in my own classroom. This was a good lesson to learn and I feel that I did learn a lot about wikis, and I will definitely use this information in my profession.
