While viewing the competition videos I was impressed with the presentation about the class wiki that can be used with history students. Technology is a valuable tool that can be used to help students really connect with the past. This presentation was well thought out and and it creatively displayed how a class wiki can be used. In the classroom I think that using this type of technology for teaching does have a down side that goes along with the benefits. In my opinion it is important that the students already know how to use this technology before they get to your class. Using things like moviemaker can be difficult for some students to learn. I can see having to spend a lot of time during class explaining how to use technology instead of actually teaching history. It is possible that most of the students will come to class already familiar with the technology they are going to be using. But, depending on the school and its economic demographic there could be a lot of students who are not familiar with the the technology. If the students can be taught so that they understand it this class wiki will be a great tool in the classroom. It is just another way to get outside the textbook and lecture help the students really get involved in history.
