Wiki's

So, what is a wiki??? A wiki is a website that can (if YOU allow it) be edited by anyone. A wiki is also another way to create a webpage!

Why use a wiki?

A wiki allows your students to add content to what you put on the website. Unlike a traditional website where only you can edit it, this will allow you to post questions and even allow for student pages to be created. Unlike a blog, a wiki is much more like a traditional website with the option for pages and standard formatting.

Can you show me some examples of how a teacher might use a wiki with their class? Check this Social Studies wiki out(posted homework and then click on the "Discussion")

In this portion of the same Social Studies wiki each student has their own page.

This math teacher creates online assignments and has the students answer through the "Discussion" section!

In this discussion section, a teacher asks questions for students to respond to (note: this will also show you how you need to demonstrate proper Language​ Arts technique while on the computer)

Another math wiki!

A great overall example of a wiki!
