Wikis

I have to admit I'd never even heard of a wiki before this class. After learning about them, I can see some fun possibilities for my library wiki. I really want to create a place for kids to be able to comment on books they are reading on their own and also books that we read in our bookclub. I've noticed during bookclub that some kids don't feel comfortable making comments. Being able to make comments on a wiki would be a great, safe way for them to express their opinions. A wiki will also be a great place for parents to find out what is happening in the library and what books kids are reading. I'm also going to include a place for teachers to get helpful websites related to their teaching and the curriculum. Let's hear it for wikis!
