Thing Twenty-one

Wikis. Lots of possibilities. Another way to connect with students and make use of technology as an effective teaching tool. But certainly not the only way. It seems as if more and more of our Things are simply new ways of doing old things. Talking, communicating, working together, accomplishing what you want them to do/learn. Do they work? Sure, if used properly. Can you do the same thing without them? Sure. Did I see things I liked? Yes, especially in Wikinomics. Will I use them in my classroom this year? Could happen! Other items discussed in these 23 Things have successfully found a home in my classes. Will my classes be successful if I don't find a chance to implement them? What do you think?
