The wiki I chose to evaluate was a second grade class in Southern California. The wiki is very warm and inviting on the home page. It was visually appealing and easy to navigate. One reason why I picked this wiki was because of how organized and detailed the information was that the wiki gave. Some of the pages were subject areas such as math, science, art, reading, and P.E. Each one of the pages gave a detailed account of what the students had learned or were in the middle of learning for that subject. It had projects, pictures, and assignments posted on the page. Therefore, students can see visually what they are learning and parents can easily keep up with the the current information their children are learning in the classroom.
I also liked how each page had the letters of the alphabet listed on the left hand side of the page. Beside the letters of the alphabet were words that started with that particular letter and had to do with the subject matter. I found this to be a very cute, pratical, and unique way to post key words for students to remember. Another element to the wiki that I found appealing was that each student had their own page telling about themselves. This gave students not only experience using technology, but also gave them more ownership over the wiki. Therefore, they were probably more involved and excited about partcipating in the wiki activity.
