Week 7 Activity 16 Wikis

I've been waiting all summer to learn about wikis, and it wasn't in vain. I think the use of wikis could dramatically change class research projects. I tagged the site Controversial Issues Wiki because the 7th grade GATE teacher does a six month project on social issues and this would be an excellent addition to how we teach the students to find and record their information.

I also tagged Wiki: A Beginner's Guide as a way to teach interested teachers how wikis work.

The only disappointment in this week's lesson is that I haven't found where to start my own wiki and what is entailed. I expect to learn that before the end of this course.
