Ideas of using wiki in my advanced reading class

I've also got an idea of using wiki in my reading class. Here it is.

I do believe writing response to reading materials would definitely promote students' critical reading and thinking ability, which is one the goals in my advanced reading classroom. Therefore, I asked my students to use portfolio to collect their response to various topics covered in our reading before. But now I think wiki could be a more effective tool to finish this task.

We usually have a lot of contradictory topics in our reading, for example, whether gifted children should be grouped for education. In such case, students could explain thier critical opinions on our classroom wiki. I could start a topic by giving the two options for this issue and ask students to choose a side to continue their response. Besides, wiki could be even more interesting for fiction response. For instance, we read a story named The Lady, or the Tiger? and students always had wonderful ideas to continue the open ending of this story. If we could finish this on wiki next time, their works would be even more valued, and theirs could be exciting modals for the following groups of students in this course.

I gradually realize that technologies is not always big and far-aways things in our classrooms, and as our current conditions are limited, we could carry out fascinating ideas using technologies appropriately in and after our own class.
