7+-+Wiki+Resources

(Added by Mary Jo Waller) I was looking around online and came across a great website with many examples of Wiki. There was so many different powerpoints to explore. I loved how it showed examples of the actual project in the powerpoint. The link follows and there is a side section with more options with different powerpoints on wiki topics and how to use them. Great website for teachers to become familiar with to use wiki in the classroom!! []

[|Wikis in Education] (Added by Crystal McDowell) This site was interesting to explore. I particularly liked exploring the Wikis in the Classroom section. I was able to locate a wiki that has been developed for an anatomy class that was really cool and that could prove to be helpful to my students ([|Anatomy Wiki]). Another example was a wiki created for microbiology ([|Microbiology Wiki]). For some reason, these do take a moment to load, though.

(Added by Crystal McDowell) I just explored the following links briefly but I was amazed by what I found. The second link is the first wiki recognized on the Best of 2011 link provided. I immediately went to science and found all kinds of resources I can potentially use. [|Best Educational Wikis of 2011] Award Winning Wiki

(Added by Crystal McDowell) I added this site because I figured that if these tools were nominated that they may be worth exploring. We have already discussed many of these but I thought it would be a good way to verify some and potentially find others. Awards for Web 2.0

(Added by Sarah Reeves) For those of you who like to know where you're going before you begin, I used this page of examples of Wikis used in education to help point me in the right direction. Also, I figured out if you copy and paste from Word, you can use fun fonts. As much as I love Arial, I thought I'd switch it up!

(Added by Stephany Tiefenauer) I found it helpful to search the blog under the dashboard section of wikispaces. There were quite a few slideshows that presented how wikis can be used in education. The feature topic was Wikis and Common Core, which I thought was great! Here is the link to the slideshows: []

(Added by Julie Niemeyer) I liked this slideshow because it specifically connects wikis to Web 2.0. The show refers to Wikis on slide 26-68. It also touches on the safety of using a wiki and several quotes related to wiki uses. []
