CWCCollaborationconnection

Students helping each other solve homework problems.

What is the best way to incorporate technology into improving collaboration?

How do I implement wikis into my classroom (any ideas) and how do I monitor what students contribute?

Here is where we will post ideas and questions for the workshop

At what age should students begin to use these sites?

What are the benefits to using wikispace instead of blogs?

How can I use this in very small high school math classes?

Is a wiki a closed group? Is there a way to make it this way so that you can make it a protected space?

Perhaps a wiki could be used to help prepare students for the LAL portion of the NJ ASK 3, 4, or 5. Students could answer explanatory writing prompts collaboratively.a

I can use this for a full class research project. I could post a higher level thinking question and give specific websites to view. Then, I could have the students communicate through this website to discuss the topic.
