Last week when we started to think about blogs and how they could be used in the classroom, everything my mind went to was actually more suited for a wiki than a blog. I love the ideas of wikis. I can think of many times when I was in undergrad where it would have been very nice to have a wiki to collaborate on. I had a friend who sent all of her papers to her mom and dad because they were English teachers. A wiki would have been very nice because just by using the history feature she could see what changes they had recommended.
It was a good experience creating a page on Wikipedia. I have read many things from there, but never created a page before. I think it would be neat to have kids create pages on there as well. It amazed me how someone was editing the page within 10 minutes of me finishing it. I really look forward to doing more collaboration next year with Angel and wikis and blogs.

Jess...next year and the year after. I look at your kids in the snow and wonder how they will be collaborating when they are your age. The possibilities are endless.
Great picture Jess!! :O)
