Wikis

I often do an activity in class called Carousel Brainstorm. Topics from discussion or reading are posted on large chart paper in the room. Pairs or individuals start at one chart and add any information they have about the topic. When time is called, students move to the next poster, read the information and add or edit. The process continues, shortening time at each round, until all students have visited each chart. Wikis for the technologically challenged!So, if this was done as a Wiki, then more class time could be spent discussing the information. This could also promote the importance of assigned readings.
