Wikis in the Classroom

I’m in an excellent session now on Wikis in the Classroom at NECC 2007 Atlanta.

Visit the presenter’s wikis. To master wikis, she suggests:

  • small edits
  • communicate
  • use the history
  • discuss the content students add
  • refresh before writing

The creator of Wikispaces suggests that we do not need email addresses for all the users. It can work without student e-mail.

You can e-mail a list of usernames/passwords to wikispaces.

Think of the structure of the wikispace before you start… assign roles to students for what you want to appear.

Installation options: Moodle, other providers, software for your own servers.
