Some benefits of Wikis <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;">To give parents insights into our daily learning; to promote home-school links e.g. find notices, information about upcoming events. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;">Integration of 21st century skills and learning; To teach students to be safe and effective users of online environments. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;">Ability to use teacher approved links to other websites for children to work on. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;">Wikis help students feel as if there is a wider audience for their thinking and their work. They enable communication with global classrooms. We can easily see examples of student work- great for extended family. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;">Collaborate, plan, organise. <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 21px; line-height: 24px;">Student-voice <span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif;">media type="youtube" key="6VfpVYYQzHs" height="349" width="425" align="center"
