Week 7, Thing 17

My school uses a program called Moodle that is essentially a wiki. Teachers post information from the days' class, list homework, and have students leave comments in regard to the lesson. The science department has been very proactive in promoting the technology but all departments make some use of it. It is a private wiki with passwords that prevent others from viewing it. I have mentioned to a few English department teachers that some schools are encouraging comments from students studying the same books in different schools to set up a joint wiki that we may look into in the future. Doug Achterman's session on wikis at the CSLA conference had some ideas of how to use it in the library.
