Wikis

=Wikis in the Classroom=

A wiki is basically a collaborative website. Wikis offer outstanding opportunities for collaboration and publishing content to a relevant, meaningful audience. They are easy to learn and are appropriate from elementary through high school grade levels. They can be used to plan events, share knowledge with a global audience, solve problems, as classroom websites, and more. Users can share resources, such as videos, images, documents, and more. Discussion features allow for behind-the-scenes commentary and negotiation of site content.

In the space below, record your ideas for implementing wikis in your curriculum. Be specific--identify your grade level, subject area(s), and the specific objectives or units of study in which your plans will be implemented.
