Thing 21

I finally know what a Wiki is! I guess I should have known that it had something to do with Wikipedia, but I of course, I didn't think through it that much. I really like the Comparing Hemispheres Wiki. With a background in counseling, I think that it is really important for children to learn about differences and similiarities, and what a fun way to do such a thing through a Wiki. Obstacles that I see would pose a problem are that many of my students do not have internet access at home, and they lack proper computer experience (other than facebook and music searches). However, we do have a wonderful media center and they need to start using the internet for something other than listening to the new Drake song (being home in the summer, you get to watch a little more tv and unwillingly discover who Drake is). Anyway, I think that it would be a nice tool to use in a classroom.
