I was a little unsure of the wikispaces at first but seeing other English teachers use and integrate class discussion onto their page, I was starting to see how teachers can use it for students. One of the spaces had students discussing Frankenstein and what themes they thought were important and it was really refreshing to see them interacting and saying things like 'Good Response' to each other, encouraging each other. I think having students collaborating and working with each other and seeing other people's ideas on the internet give them a way to talk and discuss things without worrying about speaking in front of the whole class. Many people feel more comfortable talking from behind their computer screen where they can formulate their thoughts and ideas out before putting it out for others to see. I think spaces could be a good way for teachers to discuss things as well. You could put your lesson plan up and get feedback from other teachers. I think that would really help new and upcoming teachers get clear feedback from others who are more experienced.
Posting on the sandbox was fun~ I liked seeing what other people posted and what they changed from their original blog post. I like how most people posted pictures and other fun things~
