wikispaces

Because I am teaching and being a principal at the same time, I am not always in the classroom with my students when I am supposed to be.  As much for my convenience as for the students learning, I use wikispaces to hold it all together.

One week into a new class, one of my students sent me this email, entirely unsolicited:

“In my opinion, I feel that using the wiki, is an effective tool for people who are unsure on what a particular topic may be about. However, uploading information onto it, has made me have a greater depth and understanding of the Hajj, and it is a great way to learn, because it is what I call ‘active learning’, and to have
effective knowledge and understanding of something, people need to be able to hear it, see it and do something with what they know, and then people will be able to succeed to the best of their ability – which is what I want everyone to do in these up – coming exams.

I hope this has made you realise that the wiki is excellent and I enjoy doing tasks like those – Brooke”
