Business

I plan to use Wikispace in my Accounting I class. When I introduce the definition of assets (anything of value owned by a business) I compare it to personal ownership. I ask students to make a list of anything of value they own. I will divide the class in half and have each group create a wikispace were students can list anything of value they own. Then I will allow the two groups to swap their lists and peer edit by either deleting anything that they do not believe should be included on the list and record their reason for deleting the item.

I would like to use this as a vocabulary gathering expedition for the beginning of the chapter. Students will preview chapter and pick a term to add. I would use a drawing (name out of the hat) to choose who gets to add the word. After we have created the list, students can create a link to explain the word, etc.
