I've been collaborating with a teacher this year in another location where we've created a wiki of student work. My students created the wiki (pbwiki) and they also created their own pages. I simply provided guidelines for the basic content each topic/page and each group was supposed to add more details.<br />
<br />
We did work in groups within our own schools, but it's my intention next time to mix the groups in the schools where some of my students are collaborating directly with hers. I think it's less…

We did work in groups within our own schools, but it's my intention next time to mix the groups in the schools where some of my students are collaborating directly with hers. I think it's less of an "us and them" environment that could foster better work. OH, we also used 2 types of distance communications tools--iChat and Marratech software in order to make connections both social and academic.<br />

For publishing <i>writing</i> in a more traditional sense, I like to see students using <a href="http://www.lulu.com/">LuLu</a> as a way to inexpensively get books published.

I would second the wikispace idea, it would be a terrific place to safely provide a collaboration spot for students from both of the respective populations. It also has a very easy to use interface for creating wikipages and a decent area for discussions too.<br />

Down the road I think (hope) Moodle can evolve into something that will allow such interaction between defined groups of students (it already allows for blogs and will allow commenting on blogs in a release that is expected sometime this…

Down the road I think (hope) Moodle can evolve into something that will allow such interaction between defined groups of students (it already allows for blogs and will allow commenting on blogs in a release that is expected sometime this summer for example).<br />
Your comment about the dizzying array of tools is right on and that is one of the things I most like about utilizing Moodle - it's something we're already using and it has many of the tools already built in. Though it probably is still about 6 months away from being a really good fit for the project you mentioned, it could still be done pretty effectively. Anyway, just my 2cents :) Hi Lennie,

Hi Lennie,<br />
I did what you suggested with wikispaces - a page for each research team. See - <a href="http://jerusalem.wikispaces.com/Research+Projects">http://jerusalem.wikispaces.com/Research+Projects</a><br />
<br />
The discussion area opens in a seperate page - similar to a webforum.<br />
<br />
You can lock the discussion area so only members of the space can write (new feature), but every member can write in every page's discussion area. As moderator you can delete each discussion entry.

Good suggestions for using wikispaces. I suppose I could create pages for each student and then all they would have to do is edit their own page and paste in their essay.<br />
<br />
I have one question about wikispaces. I've created one test site before, but not really played with it much. How does the discussion area of each page display? Does it should below the same page's main content (like a blog) or does it open in another window?<br />

<br />
For this cross-group collaboration do you consider locking the pages or do you keep everything open for editing? Any problems with malicious edits?<br />
<br />
Thanks for the suggestion!<br />

I agree with Steve. We have had some experience with posting student writing assignments on wikispaces and getting peer feedback from a school we collaborate with in Montreal. The posting in the discussion area of each page has allowed for a fruitful exchange.<br />
We are now considering having 9th grade students post research projects on wikispaces and get feedback from third year education students who are enrolled in in an ed tech class at their teachers college.

I really like wikis. They take a bit more work, but the ability to place content in a structure that is not date-oriented is really powerful for me. I have set up dozens of wikis at wikispaces.com. I sometimes think that my brain was pre-wired for wikis.... :)

My $.02, for what it is worth, is that going with <a href="http://learnerblogs.org/">Learner Blogs</a> or a wiki might be a better option. If you would like to read more about my recommendations for blogs, and wikis, you might be interested in some posts I did on my blog:<br />
