Examples of Wikis for Teaching and Learning

On this page, let's add some links to find examples we have found of using wikis in the classroom. Give us the name of the wiki, a brief description of the wiki, and whatever else you would like to add. Be sure to make a hyperlink so we can access the wiki.

Okay, let's get going.

Wikispaces Blog contains examples, and you can check the blog for updates and additional examples.

Aviva Dusinger's Wiki: (provides updates about what is going on in the classroom): Aviva writes on the homepage of the wiki:  This website will give you an overview of what is happening in our Grade 1 and 2 classes. You can see what the children are working on now and what is planned for the upcoming months. Updates will be made on a weekly basis. Some of the information applies to all of the classes, and some of the information applies to just one or two classes. If you are unsure if the information applies to your child's class, you can always e-mail the Webmaster ( aviva.dunsiger@hwdsb.on.ca ) and she will let you know. Please visit the website regularly to see all of the information that is available here.

 Langwitches: Digital Storytelling Examples :

I just found a wiki that has lots of resources, among them a page with Digital Stories embedded right into the page. Since we have a major project coming up on using digital storytelling in our teaching to promote literacy, thought I would share that page with you. Click on the link above to go directly to the page with the embedded digital stories.

Here are some other examples that you can also access:
