Teaching Tip - Using Wikis (and Google Docs) in Online and Face-to-Face Classrooms

The Pre-Wiki Time Period...

Readers,


I hope all of you are having a wonderful morning! Over the summer, I have been reading different blogs and tweets related to technology and teaching undergraduate students. I have been writing several of these ideas for the fall semester in my Levenger notebook (a really neat organizational tool).


Here's a wiki focused on wikis in higher education! - https://sites.google.com/site/wikisinhighered/


Recently, I discovered an older blog post related to wikis and their use in the educational setting (K-12 and higher education). This post from 2008 is still relevant in 2011 and it has some great ideas for education professionals! 


My favorite tips from the list:


1. Student Portfolios


2. Fan Clubs


3. Literature Circles


4. Classroom FAQ


5. Make Website Creation Easier for Stuents


Here's the link to the list - 50 Ways to Use Wikis for a More Collaborative and Interactive Classroom
