Other+ideas+about+wikis

Here's what other people have said... || || To answer the second part of your statement, You need to look at what wikis can do. Wikis allow students to post their work for others to see and enjoy, thus, teaching the students the importance of writing and having an audience. It allows teachers to post educational lessons through videos and podcasting, it allows you to post polls for feedback, it provides open communication between parents-teachers-students, students can write messages about what they are learning, students can access websites that you have pre-approved for further learning, students can post completed work in a multiple of different ways, and students can communicate with students in other parts of the world (as well as teachers for lessons and ideas). Wikis are amazing:) Here is a page that lists some of the ways teachers can use wikis and other sites that can help make your wiki great: http://mrssheftelsclass.wikispaces.com/Just+for+Teachers I've only been using my wiki this past school year.

(Gary Shellhammer - Bethel Local Schools, Tipp City, OH) Just wanted to thank all of you for sharing your wikis.

JMilford How do I create more than 100 student accounts if I have more than 100 students. I'm new to wikispaces... (Scott Stevens - Speedway High School, Indianapolis) Just one idea....Why wouldn't you have the students create the accounts under a parent's guidance? I would give them a specific format to follow when establishing a wiki name so you could easily access them, but they will own and manage them for a lifetime so it should be their responsibility to create them and maintain them. A parent's permission is also essential. C D'Amico, Ohio =Educational Wiki Topics and Ideas=
