Wikis

=Wikis in the Math Classroom=

Wikis are websites that are designed to enable users to make additions or edit any page of the site. Wikis are designed to be user-friendly and allow the addition of links to other webpages, embedded videos and uploading of pictures and files (see an example here). Wikis have become an online extension of my classroom – engaging students in content outside of my classroom, offering enrichment and remedial activities for differentiated instruction (see an example) and even becoming a virtual "refrigerator door" that I can post student work on (see example).
