wiki's in art appreciation

I'm thinking out loud (or more accurately out write) about the value of using a wiki in order to engage discussion about an artwork within a classroom setting. How to do this:
  • most obvious; set as a homework task
  • two and maybe most practical; book a computer lab and have a real time in class written discussion.
  • three; a combination of the two.
What if the class studied one artwork a term? How would the discussions evolve? What age group would such a lengthy discussion be best suited to?
What if the class studied one artwork a week, for a ten week term, but on one artist and looked at a series? How would the discussions evolve? What would be the best age group?
What if the class studied one genre for example Renaissance or Symbolist? What length of time would be best suited? What age group would be best suited?

    More questions - What is the value of having a wiki discussion to having a verbal classroom discussion?

    What would be gained?

    Even more questions -Does the school have its own wiki resource?

    If not would it be necessary to get permission from school?

    If they say yes would it be necessary to get permission from parents?

    A wiki supports the same pedagogical view as is sited in the entry on Bobby Elliot.
