Brainstorm+Wiki+Ideas!

Brainstorm Wiki Ideas! Expected time to complete: 15 minutes Now that you have browsed through examples of wikis in educational settings, we want you to start thinking about how wikis could be used in faith formation settings. Use the space below to add to a list of ideas for using a wiki in a Catholic classroom or parish ministry. The more ideas the better! Remember to Sign in. Click on the Edit Button Save your work.

Posting the syllabus for the year. That would save many trees since the syllabus would not have to be printed. Using the glogster to present possible websites for further study. One glogster could have each topic covered duirng the course linked to sources for students to use in their research. Posting you tube videos that relate to the content so even if the student were absent he/she could view it. When there is a reply assignment the wiki allows students who are more introversive the time to organize their thoughts on a topic. This would give an alternative to oral discussion on every topic.

I will be using my wiki for my parents to sign up for helping with classes, as well as a spot for me teachers to post their ideas so that we can share information on topics we will be talking about in class. I also be introducing the wiki platform for our church's prayer line. Now each week I have to collect all the e-mails that name people who are sending in names of those who are sick or are in need of prayer, then I send an e-mail to those interested in praying for those people. But with a wiki, the group can edit the prayer list as they need and see it right away and not wait for the big Friday e-mail.

I see how many concepts for using Wiki for designing lesson plans, networking for professional groups, project planning, community building, combating isolation for shut-ins; however I am hoping to devise a practical way to use Wiki as a communication tool between all the ministries in our parish to compile a list of members who are "missing in action" and then develop a program to contact them through a CONNECT program via digital media.

I can definitely see how this would have helped with planning for Vacation Bible School! I love Kristi's wiki for sharing about the same VBS we just completed! So, planning and sharing photos and keeping a log of how the themes continue to come alive in the adult's and kid's lives can help to plant these Bible verses and experiences into our hearts. Could be a great faith sharing tool, too, to share on how the Gospel is being lived out this week individually and as a household. I know I am still viewing wikis in very limited ways, but hope to make correlations down the road, now that I have a taste of what exists and got my toes wet! Diane
