Wiki Wiki!
Instead of immediately thinking of fake DJ noises, I now know that wikis can be powerful learning tools! I have been familiar with Wikipedia, but I never thought that using a wiki could be used and created by students. After working on wikis with our class, I have seen first hand how cool it can be to collaborate using this tool. I have been thinking a lot about how I can integrate this into my classroom. I think that it would definitely take a lot of scaffolding with third graders, but it can be done! Right now, I am thinking about starting one with my high reading group as an enrichment activity for right now. I think that might help me ease my way into using the tool with students, and help me troubleshoot some problems!

Lauren, I teach fourth grade and I had similar concerns. As great of a resource as I feel it can be, I was having headaches just imagining the process of getting my students online using them. I like your idea of starting small as an extension for higher students. I think I'll have to give this a try for my above grade level literature circle group, or for extension for my gifted students. Thanks!
