Today we started work on some oral presentations in year 10 French. We used a Wiki which had the task instructions on a welcome page, then the students had their own personal pages to write their preparation work on. Online based work means the teacher gets access to multiple students' work in one place and is able to see immediately at what stage the student is at. Student's can also see the work of their peers for ideas to improve their own. A "Comments" facility enables the students to ask questions to the teacher who can answer them directly. This provides another avenue of communication of the student were to be unable to find the teacher during the school day for example. The students were very motivated especially at the prospect of being able to peer correct each other's work. We will continue to experiment with capabilities of Wikis as the project develops. (We have kept the Wiki closed to public access for child protection purposes).
