The reading for this week is very important because present a new tool that can be apply in a English class. We know that the technology in a classroom it is important because with that teachers and students can improvement their language process. In this article the technology present a new tool that is calls Wiki. “A wiki is a website where anyone can edit anything anytime that you want (Richardson, 2006). That sounds great, so that`s mean that is an excellent tool in where students can participate making activities with the opportunity to change whatever thing and improve their writing skill.
This article mentions that in wiki student can express their ideas or feelings so the rest people can know about.  Wiki is a tool for writing and as teachers can apply activities like writing discussions and check the process of drafting and give a revision and enhance their writing skill. This also encourage to read the writing of others groups.  Something that I really like is that Wiki is an excellent tool for students to edit, to practice drafting, rewriting and proofreading. To summarize Wiki is a new way for students to express ideas in writing.
