Three tools, thousands of possibilities

Of the three things we have learned I'd have to say that wikis are probably the tool I could use most at school. They are the tool I see used most by teachers now. The ability to work independently yet collaboratively is a huge benefit. I tutor students who are out of the classroom because of illness. One young man was able to stay connected to his classroom group's research project by using the wiki set up in class. His contribution was included in the project because he was able to get his ideas to his group even though he couldn't physically be in the classroom. Tutoring is often boring and not very effective for a homebound student. The wiki was a great tool for motivation.
Personally, del.icio.us is probably the tool I will use the most. I am only beginning to explore the possibilities. Originally I thought it was just a fancy version of my favorites list. Now I can see how the social aspect of it can help me to discriminate good sites from bad sites. It also opens me up to so many new areas.
Blogging is fun. It's the one thing we learned that I personally enjoy. However, I think that in order for it to be helpful it has to be done on a regular basis AND you have to have someone reading your blogs. It's no fun to write and not get any responses.
