#6 Final Tips on wikis

Here are some tips I learned from Vicki Davis's website:


1. Students should do small edits and not leave the page open for too long. This could be a problem for students. They will need to have their written material ready and work fast!
2. You should refresh before writing- never tried that!

3. You need to discuss ethical use and websafety with students before starting a project

4. Communicate often.

5.Use the history button to find out what edits have gone on lately.

6.Discuss with students after each session.

Ways to use wikis:

1.lesson summaries
2.notes for collaboration eg. studying
3.concept introduction and exploration projects
4.learn shares?
5.individual assessment
6.rewards- wiki hall of fame or honourable mention.

Students will love to use wikis in school and they won't even realize that they are learning so much!!
Totally my favourite tool so far!! Did I already say that??
