Week #7, Thing #17

Wow, sure are a lot of very prolific contributors to the California Library 2.0 collective. While looking over the ideas for using wikis, I noticed one that suggested creating a wiki in which students participating in a "Battle of the Books" competition could create questions after reading titles from the "Battle" list. Students on the team would have access to these questions, thereby preparing them for the competition. I've helped prepare our school's Reading Olympics team (sounds much like the "battle of the Books") and it is an arduous task for advisors to the team to read all the books (45!) and create questions. What a wonderful way to get the kids to be the creator of the questions, helping out the team in the true spirit of teamwork and collaboration.
