Here is a really and

1)We are in year 2 of the Classrooms For the Future grant. There will be CFF facilitators from each department to guide and monitor faculty through CFF training. I can see setting up a wiki for faculty to share their training experiences and ideas that they have created to implement technology into their lessons and to post examples of student products...all in hopes of inspiring others.

2)As distance learning courses are being implemented in our school, a wiki could really help the class stay focused, organized and provide a way for communication. Students could post questions, suggestions, etc.

3)I am going to post all of my booktalks that I give each year on my wiki page.

4)I am going to suggest that our CFF group starts a wiki so that we can all see what is being done in the various classrooms and what techniques and technology are being used. I also may set up a wiki for our summer reading assignments.

1) Our Gifted program for the HS has wandered from required small projects to rewuired online languages to video classes with no great results. I think they would love using a wiki to brainstorm ideas for the future, to post and refine ideas, while learning new technologies.

2) Our Battle of the Books team might perfer to use wikis to add review questions to their logs for each book, rather than hand write questions to submit. Each student on the team as they read the book could look over the previous questions, make any corrections, and add new ones.

We're using wikis for our Reading Olympics team. They have pages set up for each book, and as a student finishes reading it, they can create/edit information about the characters and plot, as well as post questions that they would like others on the team to answer.

I am using wikis to create a research discussion area for students to share their experiences and their best practices. Also, I'm incorporating wikis into our battle of the books. With recent schedule changes it is more difficult to get all of the teams together. I'm going to try a wiki to give the students a place to "meet" wherever, when ever!

Elemetary school ideas -

I'd like to transfer my Summer Reading Bingo program into the trading cards idea from Week 3 (mashups) and combine it with the wiki idea. If students create a review or trading card or something for every book they read, they could add it to their own wiki page to track what they've read. Or maybe offer prizes through the wiki in addition to getting "BINGO." I'm still working out the details.

I'm also thinking of creating group wiki pages for research projects where students work in groups. What an excellent way for students to share their research and cite it all in one place!

I created a library wiki for my elementary library please check it out and offer me some advice: http://arrowheadlibrary.wikispaces.com/.

I have yet to usea wiki on my own, but I did do something similar by using Moodle a couple of years ago for some middle school teams in a Battle of the Books competition. I had the experience that a lot of people have had: the kids seemed enthusiastic at first, but their comments quickly became less frequent and less on topic. Eventually it was one parent team "manager"who made the most use of interacting with the team in this way. An English teacher that I work with fairly often has used a wiki as an option for her students this year for a project on genocide, and she has had great success with it. I think that the key may be having a pretty tight focus for the wiki, especially for younger students.They don't so much abuse the freedom in a wiki as much as they aren't sure what to do with it. Focusing the wiki on a topic, with specific suggestions forcontent, helps them stay motivated and on task. Ina way, it's a kind of online classroom management.
