Wikis

are a technology that immerse the students in hands-on learning as well as upper level thinking and problem solving. A wiki is a website that allows for student collaboration and editing. There are many uses for classroom wikis. The one I chose for my classroom was a collaborative look at the body systems. Each student group is assigned a body system and researches information to put in our class wiki. I also expect my students to do a little extra by embedding a web 2.0 tool (widget) to make their page more dynamic. I have included the assignment packet, planning sheet, grading sheet, and a wiki instruction flip book. The Cascading Flip Book was designed to put with each student group for instructions on wiki basics. Here is the link to a body system wiki that was created by my freshmen. http://bodysystemswalker1.wikispaces.com/
