=__Project Description __=

Our project is about using Wikis for differentiated instruction in the classroom. With the ever growing pressure to meet the needs of ALL learners and the need for more time to do so, using a wiki is a quick and easy way to meet this objective without too much additional pressure placed on the classroom teacher. Our wiki covers several of the 4th grade content standards in the area of geometry. It has been divided into three separate pages: remediation, on-track, and enrichment. Each page has been titled with a team name so that children know which page to access. However, these names do not indicate the ability level of each group.

=__Content Uses of this Technology __=

One of the greatest advantages of using a wiki for differentiation, is that it can be used across all content areas. Wikis are free to teachers, are easily accessed by many, and its capabilities go well beyond using it simply for instructional differentiation. In addition to differentiation, wikis can also be designed to deliver instruction and/or assess knowledge in any content area.
