I have been using wikispaces for a couple of years now. Each of my classes has a website where I post the notes, review material, the syllabus and contact information. I thought I was pretty technologically savy with the site...I was wrong. I am revamping it so that students can join, students will be encouraged to add information to the site, add their own notes, discuss various problems and math topics with each other. It has been very one-sided, I believe that by giving students access it will only make it better. I can also embed videos, games, and widgets to help make the site more interactive.
Adding this single game increased the number of students accessing the site this past weekend. I am sure that adding more will only continue to increase their activity. As it is now students hardly ever access it. I want it to be a useful tool for them that they can actually utilize and find beneficial.
