A ‘Wiki’ is an editable website. There are many Wiki sites, but the best one is Wikispaces.
Ways to use wikis in your classroom:
- Set up an Edu account; you won’t get ads
- Use it as a class portal (Note, Edmodo is different but good too)
- Excellent revision tool (assign topics, students create the content)
- Very easy to set up.
Examples:
- Class portal: http://vanweringh11.wikispaces.com/
- Revision site: http://cpeww2.wikispaces.com/home
- Proof of the popularity of wikispaces: This is a search for the words “cold war” on any wikispaces.com site. There are 43.700 results.
