Wikis in school
MeatBall wiki page about educational uses of wikis and other links
WikiSchool is a page on meatball wiki about wikis in schools. Wikis are Web server applications of greater or lesser sophistication that allow people to edit and add Web pages. There is more to wikis however, and most of the magic is based on the idea of a WikiWord (usually a word in CamelCase) acting as a link pattern, so that each WikiWord has a page, and quoting the WikiWord on a page automatically generates a link to that page.
- Wiki activity used in a lesson – I’m using research focussed activities like this with seed pages and tasks
- Wiki basics – what – how
- Wiki design principles – “The simplest online database that could possibly work.” as Ward Cunningham has been quoted as saying.
- A brilliant failure with some analysis of process
- WikiPoint – I wish I had thought of that one first!
