Miscellaneous resources
Other resources about wikis
Excellent samples and information on the use of wikis in education.
Wiki netiquette for our Flat Classroom wiki projects.
How to cite sources using the source citation code in wikispaces.
Our guidlines for posting personal information on a wiki.
There are some GREAT examples of educational wikis to peruse here. So many ideas and different ways to use wikis. Take a look and turn up some new ones that you haven't seen and find some new teachers.
Elementary Wikis
Use of wikis with younger students.
Susan Silverman knows how to do elementary projects -- Her fall project is the Online Autumn Revival and includes Kindergarten, 1st grade and 2nd grade classes. This is a great one and uses a wiki.
Monarch Butterfly wiki project from Maria Knee's kindergarten classroom.
Voices of the world project. This is a project that kindergarten teacher Maria Knee participates with. It is a fascinating collaboration of students.
Roosevelt Elementary School 3rd grade wiki that has all types of projects.
Middle School Wikis
School journalism wiki for a middle school in California. The students write and maintain this wiki.
My Personal Wikis
Information and samples from wikis I use
Collaborative writing and editing continues to move into the classroom. If the pundits didn't like wikipedia, what about a dictionary that students build for themselves?
"The purpose of this project is to create a free, open simple dictionary for students to use. This dictionary will ultimately be published in a variety of formats and for multiple platforms.
To add to this project, find a word you'd like to write a definition for or click "Instant Karma" for a random word. Please consult the style guidelines for editorial information."

Some of our certified teachers are helping on the organization team for this new project. It is exciting to see global collaboration take off.
Less than 15% of wikipedia editors are women. This isn't surprising to many of us. I used to be a pretty active editor on several topics myself but the constant arguments were not something I had time for. I have two teenagers for that.
Justin reich's research which has powerful implications for equity, how wikis are used (they are used more and longer by mid to higher affluent schools) and how we should shape and design platforms. (Because affluent students are disproportionately using the services, it is impacting design and most companies are caught in a feedback loop that is causing them to design for affluent students.)
A summary of Justin REich's research written for classroom teachers and school educators.
I'm going to be sharing a lot about collaborative writing and Common Core writing standards. For US educators to start teaching collaborative writing that we're going to have to align and help them understand how it will meet the standards they are using. While this will relate to anyone who wants to use cloud tools, those implementing common core standards will be very interested. This is the form to complete if you're interested in getting a copy of the book.
