I work with students with learning disabilities and/or ADHD and have been using a wikispaces to spark discussion. This year, book discussions really took off and we managed some math discussions also. Also, this year, we added podcasts and I have been using Audacity as well. Loved it! We use the wikipages to collaboratively share information and the discussion tabs on those pages for discussion (example: http://lmaconnections.wikispaces.com/Language+Labs) and have added links for the podcasts which have included news reports on what we were reading or character interviews. Most of my students have been reluctant readers at one point or another and this year EVERYONE was excited about reading and their accomplishments. Can't wait to see what next year brings!
