I have been using wikis with my classes for a few years now. What I love about them is that they are so easy to set up and all my students can easily join. I usually put a lot of class resources on the wiki and set it out term by term. I find it easy to set up all my grammar links for the year too, so students can practise what they are learning in class at their own pace. Of course, I also add a lot of links for students to improve their English whilst having 'fun'. (songs with lyrics, word games, comics, etc...) As a class, we have also been in contact with another school in America and the students were able to share their information about themselves and their lives. Basically, I use the wiki to put all of the work and information from any given class into one place and it makes it very easy for me, the teacher!
EXAMPLE OF MY CLASS WIKI
The challenges in the new millennium require that both teachers and students become competent users of ICT, able to integrate Web 2.0 tools into their daily teaching and learning. Many of these tools are currently being used by educators to teach ESL or EFL. This blog is dedicated to those tools which can easily be adapted for use in the English classroom. It's a question of using these tools in innovative ways in order to engage our digital learners and motivate them to learn English!
