=Welcome to Miss Golden's Wiki! =

Wikis in my classroom.
I have not incorporated wikis into my classroom, but after viewing a few and reading about them, I have a few ideas. Wikis sounds like an excellent tool for discussion during/out of class. It would be great especially for those soft-spoken students. When they are given time and a keyboard in front of them, these quiet students will post their comments about the given topics. Having the studnets post responses will make them more aware about their spelling and grammar as well.

For a lesson activity, I would have the students work with a partner to research a topic that relates to what we are talking about in class. The pair of students would have to start a discussion on their topic and link the website to their discussion page. The students would then read another group's research and comment on the findings.

For other activities, please see my "discussion" section and view other Web 2.0 lesson ideas. Please feel free to add anything to the discussion.

B. F. Skinner
B. F. Skinner was an educational theorist/psychologist and was well known during the 1950s-1960s. The Skinner Box was constructed by him to proceed with his operant conditioning experiments. Many of Skinner's theories exist in classrooms today when it comes to positive reinforcement.
