wiki

Using a wiki as a classroom tool allows collaboration at many levels of ability.
Some of those shown on school websites show excellent depth of both researched knowledge and IT skills to set up the pages with multimedia feeds.
Some geography classes at my school use classroom wikis to investigate Google Earth features.
I will try to set up a classroom wiki to allow collaborative writing with a group of Life Skills students.
Some of the maths pages which encourage reflections on problem-solving have engaged students to communicate a variety of methods.
The use of powerpoint presentations to teach topics and then invite responses looks useful; lots of tools involved on a huge variety of site.

We need to use wikis in staff development to develop staff skills cooperatively and inform staff of possibilities.
