As I said in my previous post, I think Wikis will be a great addition to my teaching. I have set up my wiki (http://docapchem.wikispaces.com/) and I look forward to trying it with my AP kids and their problem sets/labs/class notes... If it works out really well, I may have my Level 2 chemistry students do it as a way to work on homework and study for tests.
I think a wiki differs from a blog because you can make corrections onto the wiki where a blog, you can only comment. No one will want to read the comments but they will look for changes in a wiki. (at least, I think my students would like the wiki idea better than the blog.) I believe that a wiki is much more interactive while a blog is less so...
I still haven't been able to log on to the 23 things wiki and add my ideas but I think that I will be able to do that shortly (Maureen said that she needed a couple of days to figure out the problem.) Whatever happens, I really like wikis and I hope to use them in more of my classes.
