I can imagine a classroom in the future where all the students are busy working simultaneously on a wiki on their laptops. As each student posts a paragraph or idea, the others will be inspired by what they read, thus motivating each one to do their best on their assignments. With my students, I could post a picture as a story starter or description activity. Perhaps groups of students could be given a math exemplar and each member of the group would contribute to finding the solution.
Teachers could effectively plan cross-curriculum theme units,save time completing team goals, etc.

love those ideas Karen, especially the story starter on a wiki- would love to see that :)
Karen, those are great ideas. I thought of pretty much the same things. In addition, the learning that takes place is not only from the teacher but the students learn from each other as well.
