Description:

A wiki is a website anyone can edit.    This particular wiki service has ad-free wikis available for education.  With a free account you get 10mb of storage.

Project Ideas:

1. Have students work together to create a website about whatever topic they are studying.
2. Have students create a master set of notes to be used for a final exam or AP exam.
3. Have students partner with students from a distant school and use a wiki to collaborate.
4. Students can use wikis to create "choose your own adventure" stories and games.

 

Examples:

 

• AP US History Wiki

Other Educational Uses:

1. Collaborate with staff on projects (e.x.:  curriculum development, crafting policy, etc.)
2. Create a shared calendar. 
3. Build your own content management system.
4. Use instead of handouts at conferences.
5. Organize conferences and events.
6. Manage and organize content and resources for a class or interest group.
