I have been using wikispaces as a place to put links, games, videos, notebook files,and resources that I tag in delicious. I have students accessing this from home, and also in my science and math classes the students can access sites easily by going to the wiki and following the link I ask them to access. I also display student voicethread, poster, smartnotebook projects. It's always a work in progress and the focus is on grade6 math/science and grade8 science. By the look of the clustermap and usuage statistics other classrooms might be using it too, although I'm not sure how? (it could just be crawlers :)) It would be great to have it be more collaborative, so if anyone is teaching similiar topics send me a request to join! http://fletcherwiki.wikispaces.com/

I love your site, Shaun! Just wondered if it's possible to add sites say from del.icio.us to my wiki (like uploading a file) rather than opening del.icio.us, copying the link and putting it in the wiki. Or do you host your articles and files somewhere else to make it easier? I'm also curious to know the difference between edublogs and wikis - because edublogs do seem easier fo students to use. Has that been your experience?

Hi Rebecca,
Glad you liked the wiki. Do you teach in similiar areas and grade levels? For each unit page, for example electricity in the science 6 section, I have an embedded widget that I created in delicious that when I tag a site electricity on delicious it automatically feeds that to the electricity page. I made a screen cast on how to do it here. You can do this for each unit/topic that you teach, just select the tag/tags that you wish to use to feed the widget. I'm not sure what you mean about the hosting of articles, but I usually upload any files that I use to the wikispace. I haven't used edublogs but have used classblogmeister with students and have used wikispaces with students. It really depends on what you wish to accomplish for a particular assignment. Students have used a wiki to create a scientific report on a glider project and have used a blog to post writing pieces(although not much this year). Most students will catch on quickly to either format.

I maintain two wikis that may be of interest to this thread. One is my EduBlog Award winning Economics wiki at http://welkerswikinomics.wetpaint.com. The other is a wiki I've created aimed at sharing my ideas on how wikis can be used in education. I have presented a workshop with this wiki on several occasions around Asia. This wiki it found at http://learning2shanghai.wetpaint.com

Enjoy!

Hi Sue,

Great idea! I created a wiki resource for my colleagues at Sierra College as a place to connect and reflect about learning 2.0 resources. It provides links to online tools, copyright info, our college's iTunes U site, prof development and relevant articles. I'm in higher ed so the material is tweaked for my audience. I hope you find it a resource as well!

My summer school students built a wiimote whiteboard and made a wiki about it. Summer school is over and we didn't quite get to finish it all the way, but I thought the kids did a great job on it. It has lots of voicethreads and a movie on it.

When I was first getting started with wikis in my classroom, I found a teacher's wiki that was absolutely outstanding. I used it for a lot of inspiration for my own (which is private). I'm going to give her address and hope that you find it as awesome as I do!

Hi, I'm an Educational Technology Integrationist in South Dakota. Lots of cool tools here. Thought I'd add my Web 2.0 Wiki to the mix.
