I use this wiki to collect materials for our students to use for Media class and for whenever they want to access the information we show them at school.  I usually give the link to parents as well.  I am pretty much the only person who posts, but it gives me an easy way to keep a vibrant web page for my media materials.  (Lydia Schultz)

One thought on “Ways to use wikis in the classroom”

  1. I have been using wikis for some time now and always have one for my maths class – for both maths and for reflection on work. Classes like the fact that they all have editing rights and I see them learn from each others’ contributions.

    I put some links together for staff at our school which may be of interest.
