Websites on the WIKI

When accessing the class wiki I only saw one website and that was the Springfield Township site. So during this post I will discuss that. I immediately noticed the podcasts as soon as I brought the site up. I thought this was a unique way for students to learn vocabulary. During the podcasts the students had to put the word into a sentence. Students who are trying to study the words at home could access the site and have listen to the podcast to jog their memory. You also can access student work by seeing book trailers and other projects. This can be a good communication port so that parents and administration can know what is going on in your classroom. The only downside to this site is that it can be difficult to navigate. As I was going through the site I would have to copy and paste the url and open a new screen to see the videocast or the podcast. Creating links would make it much easier to navigate through the site.
