The secret to doing wikis in a large class is to put them in pairs. For example, if you look at my blog, our first wiki experience used this model. I created a page and listed approximately 6 terms having to do with Web 2.0 and made a wiki to link. I split them into teams and they had to investigate and post on their wiki. They work together, discuss, and make sure they each contribute (so they each get graded correctly.) <BR/><BR/>Wikis are great! I actually had two classes learning the same thing and we collaborated across classrooms. As for errors, it is easier for the teacher to fix errors in wikis than in blogs. If you go to my blog, you can type in wiki and read a lot of the experiences I have had with wikis. I think they are the most revolutionary tool I've used in my classroom.Vicki Davis @coolcatteacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05549879610620143027noreply@blogger.com
