Hello. My name is Amina Taffa.Currently we are discovering Wikis.Here are some of of the ideas racing around my brain.
 * __Wikis__** June 16th
 * Notetaking templates and graphic organizers can be developed after collaborating
 * Teachers can post a video reviewing the Math concepts studied at the end of each week . After collaboration students could either create and share their own videos . The videos could also be useful to help with Math homework.
 * Teacher`s could present student`s with a Math problem.Each student could suggest ways of solving the problem step by step.Students could agree or disagree on certain steps of the problem with valid reasons and alternate suggestions.
