During a video recently viewed, teachers discussed the many benefits of wikis. Some teachers had created wikis such as "Beyond Textbooks" and "Mind Touch". These sites allow teachers to post and share lesson plans as well as other information. Educators may also rely on these wikis to obtain information and ideas. Different learning and evaluation situations (LES) are made available, which helps promote education across their respective districts and beyond.
This is a wonderful way to share information and knowledge. Teachers exchanging ideas and collaborating with each other is a huge asset for the students. The wealth of information available through these wikis is immense. Resources like these are priceless in my opinion. I applaud the efforts of the teachers appearing in this video. Their idea will benefit students across the globe.

I agree with your opinion! As you said, I think that ressources like this are priceless. Having the chance to exchange opinions, lesson plans and other ideas with other teachers is a very good thing! Having the teachers posting their creations creates an amazing bank of ideas for preparation and inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Allison when she says that it is a good opportunity to share idea between teachers. It can be time consuming to create good LESs and to know that such a tool exist is great because a least, if you prepare a good LES you can share it with other teacher and teachers can review it and we can improve the LES. This way it is beneficial for the students; they will have LES of a great quality.
