Introduction

  • One of the main uses of wiki is for simple project. You can create your own customized version of any wiki template simply
  • Think of this wiki as a shared online whiteboard. Your entire group can share information using this wiki, making your research accessible to everyone.
  • Play around with this wiki: Notice how you can add comments to a page, see what people have changed, and edit all the text.

 

Ideas for working in groups

A wiki has many affordances that will increase engagment and flexibility of your existing group activities. Here are some examples of group activities - could a wiki be used for any of them? Group collaborative activities

 

Examples of existing wikis used for education:

  • WikiHow -wikiHow is a collaborative writing project to build the world's largest how-to manual. This one is really interesting.
  • Deer Valley HS Track Team Wiki -Wikis are great for managing a team or group activity. This is the team wiki for a local high school. The other coaches haven't caught on to it yet, but the student athletes love it.
  • Blended Learning Wiki -Resources for teachers and learners interested in networked and blended learning
  • WriteHere.net is a community for creative people and a project to learn about creative works.
  • Sporty40 Adventures -Group adventure wiki maintain for and by a group of friends. The site is used to plan trips.
  • AQA Anthology is a new wiki started in a school in Kent.  It is a collaborative site where GCSE students and staff can explore poetry and revise is a variety of ways including podcasts, vodcasts and sketchcasts made either by the students themselves or found on the internet.
