Classroom Wikis


Wikis in the Classroom

Deb Trewartha

 

What is a wiki? It is a web page, an online writing tool, a collaborative project, and an electronic portfolio. It allows a large group of people (your students for example) to collect, write, report, post, share, and edit content. K-12 teachers are finding innovative uses for wikis. Participants will explore examples, add content to a wiki, and learn how to create a classroom wiki.
