Examples+of+Educational+Wikis




 Here is an awesome wiki that I found on May 30th with oodles of Web 2.0 tools! Created for library media specialists, this site has something for everyone in education! webtools4u2use - Paula



This site is devoted to building resources for the classroom and professional-development use of Web 2.0 and collaborative technologies. It provides you with a good overview of the technologies, some ideas for lesson plans, and points you in the direction of more detailed resources.

 Dr. Sara Kajder's wiki, **promiseintopractice**, that supports teaching with technology, shared writing, community and collaboration. Sarah teachers 11th graders in urban Virginia, and engages her students with authentic tasks, shared with real audiences, that draws out their personal stories using minimal technology resources. http://promiseintopractice.pbwiki.com/

  

This site is used by educators to tap into a repository for curriculum ideas and lessons that revolve around a curricular content or subject area. You can search the repository in order to find content that you would like to use. For example, in the subject line, select **Educational Technology** and then type in keyword **"wikis"** to locate information regarding wikis. http://www.curriki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

This is a great example of how educators are using a wiki to share information about Web 2.0 tools. You can locate **wikis** on the left hand side under category. http://school20.wikispaces.com
