Wiki

  Wiki can be used in many different classes, for example, you can use it in this class. We can use wiki to peer edit stories, essays, and reports. We can use wiki in our history classes by going on "virtual field trips." There are many benefits of using wiki is that you can use them in classrooms,  you can share with friends and all collaborate together, its very easy to use, and is very organized. We can use wikis in this class to make it easy to view all of our tech articles. We can make a link of our names and it goes directly to our tech article. The only experience I have with using wikis is using it in this class in 8th grade.

Do Now 10/28

Invisibility Cloak 

       If I woke up with an invisible cloak one morning I would do so many good deeds. I would clearly be unrecognized but it would be out of the kindness of my huge heart. I would go to nearby schools to see who was getting bullied and stop the bully, even though he would probably freak out because he couldn't see the person taking charge but it would help the victim. I would do that throughout many schools to try and stop bullying. I would still do many other great deeds also.
       I would also stop the beatings and muggings throughout our cities. I would also help the homeless and help hobos. If anything gets stolen from anyone I would help get it back without any questions. I would do so many good deeds with my invisible cloak. After doing all my good deeds I would than finally have some fun  time with my invisible cloak.
