Thing #8 - Wikkis

I knew absolutely nothing about wikkis until now. I looked at the wikkis that were suggested and found them to helpful and some of them were quite interesting. I like the Salut to Seuss sight. It contained a plethora of information about Dr. Seuss and his books. I also liked the voiki wikki. I am going to try to go back when I have some time and make a voki. The book study for The Discovery Utopias was also an interesting sight, but my favorite one was the one from Woodward Academy that was created by a fifth grade class. The wikki was about the book, Turn Homeward Hannalee, I liked the layout of the page with pages for vocabulary, questions, chapter summaries, etc.. If I were to start a wikki, I think that I would like it organized like this one. I think that I would have more of a reader's thoughts or reactions section where the students could write their own reading journal. A wikki would be a great idea for a novel study.
