Since I teach 9th grade, I commented on 'Ideas for High School students' on Dr. Wilson's Wiki. Specifically I said the following:
"Julie B. - One tool that I really like to use in my World Geography class for research is Delicious. I think that this is a great social bookmarking tool that can be used for research based projects. I like that I am able to monitor the websites that my 9th graders are on by already giving them pictures, videos and websites that have all of the information that they need in one centralized location. Students love working with our mobile laptops and this allows them to be both engaged, while also making sure that they are learning for creditable websites. Also, students can access Delicious both in and out of school."
I have used Delicious before and love it! I think it was helpful being able to see other teacher's ideas for technology use in the classroom from Dr. Wilson's Wiki. There are some technology ideas that were mentioned that I have either not heard of or would never have thought of using.
Again, I don't love Wikis, so I doubt I would ever use one in my personal or professional life, but I could understand why people like them and use them.
