How can you use Wikis?
•Teachers can use a wiki space when
creating a project; students use the wiki
space to post information and to share
with the class.
•Students can access the wiki space in
and out of school.
•Teachers can monitor participation of
all members of the group by reviewing
the history.
Classroom Showcase
•Links can be embedded into the
wiki that directs students to look at
other pages that their classmates
have created.
•Teachers can take large chunks of
material, divide into students
groups, and allow the groups to
create a wiki page that teaches the
rest of the class that material.
