wiki in the classroom

Making and using a wiki is an easy way to publish web content in a collaboartive means. A wiki can be used to plan a speicific event like a thankgiving dinner.- I can bring a game like monopoly and leave the cooking to other guests.
here are some sample wiki's

Wiki can be for online textbooks:

Class & Group projects
Burlinton Central - Civics
http://civicstext.wetpaint.com/

Aldershot - Entrepreneurship
http://aldershot01.wetpaint.com/

Iroquois Ridge- World Issues
http://internationaldebtcrisis.wikispaces.com/

or Team/ club websites
Burlington Central -Robotics

As you can see from these examples it is easy to track who the contributors, are , what changes are made, all types of media can be included and the work will continue to avalable and built on over time.
