Interactive Wiki

            I think the best part about creating this wiki is that it engages the students in a section of English that I have always had a passion for. It allowed me another opportunity to do some research on Greek mythology to find resources that my students could use. The only change I made to the wiki after reading my comments is that I added sort of a preview of what is covered in the wiki itself. I think beyond that I could add more pages. Perhaps, as the subject was studied further, I could add pages to look at Roman mythology because of its close relationship to Greek mythology. I could also add in a page or two about modern telling of the Greek myths. There are many more possibilities that I could explore to enhance this particular wiki. I am afraid I have limited myself though because Greek mythology lends itself very well to something like this. The question is how could I transfer this to another part of English study that is not necessarily as much fun? Technology is going to be what the future classroom is going to be a part of. There are going to be challenges but as teachers we must rise to the occasion to solve these problems.
