In the Blogs, Wiki, Podcast text the fourth and fifth chapters are about wikis and RSS feeds.
In my high school chemistry class we actually used a wiki as a class project. It was a really great way to collaborate together without having to meet at the same time. I really enjoyed the wiki project that I have already done and would like to do something similar with my future students. With the knowledge from these chapters, I now have plenty more ideas for how I can use wikis in my classroom. I believe that the upper elementary school students that I plan to teach could use wikis to do brainstorming and book reports with a little bit of help and encouragement.
Before this chapter, I had never heard of and RSS feed before. I think it will be a useful tool as an educator. When my future students have their own blogs, I can use the RSS feed to access all of their blogs in one convenient place. I'm sure with all of the work I will have to do as an elementary school teacher, using an RSS feed will make my life that much easier.
