Description/Reflection
 * The Classroom Wiki is a helpful tool that allows the entire classroom to share and gather information. The Class Wiki involved multimedia tools to support learning in the classroom, specifically math and science.
 * Reflecting upon this experience, I have several successes and difficulties. First, I enjoyed the students' excitement with the Wiki. It was also positive to observe the students utilizing the tool at an alarming rate. However, as I continue to utilize the Wiki with my next class, I will be sure to plan carefully. I will need to devise a schedule during the class day in order for all students to experience and utilize this useful tool.
