Ideas for using wikis in the classroom Kaczmarek
Wikispaces seems like it would be really helpful for having group discussions, but at a child's own pace. Because you can simply past all of the questions when the assignment is first assigned, it gives students who are really into the project a chance to work whenever they want and finish early. It also allows students who are not as excited about the assignment to check out the work of their peers and get a feel for what's expected, and then start working. I also think their's extra incentive if the students can create their own personal wikispace, because then they'll want to get on the website for something other than homework.

I also really liked learning about Quizlet. I think it's awesome because teachers can create flashcards for their students. Also, you could have all of your students in your class make flashcards, and then either use their set or other students to study. They could combine sets of flashcards if they missed a lot of information and challenge each other to beat their times in the games. I think it would be a great homework assignment for the week before a test and a good tool to give students.
