During lab, we formed groups to research and explore a specific communication tool. My group's activity focused on Zoho Wikipedia, an on-line resource that has "180,000+" websites. Teachers can use this tool in a variety of different ways. Zoho Wiki is similar to any other Wiki site in that anyone can post anything to the page, though teachers do have control over the tool. The image to the left shows how to create a new page on Zoho Wiki, as well as various other tasks noted on the sidebar on the left-hand side.
This screen shot explains some of the different uses for Zoho Wiki in the classroom. When I was considering how I could use the tool in my future high school level Spanish classes, I thought about how Halter's Class took advantage of the features of the tool.
Mr. Halter set up his Zoho Wiki page as an on-line class. There are links to class notes, review sheets, assignments, and more. I would choose to model my page after his for my high school Spanish class to ensure that everyone is up-to-date on class materials. I can post lecture notes and class activities as well as study guides and practice quizzes/tests.
