Great Classroom Wikis

I am putting together a presentation for my school on why teachers should consider using wikis and blogs. As part of my presentation I wish to provide some examples of great classroom wikis. May I please get some links from teachers of your wikis, so that I can use them as examples of why my peers should consider utilizing wikis? I am sure other teachers visiting this discussion would like to see your sites, as well. Thank you!

How good they are as examples is up to you. Hope they help.

I used Weebly for both. You may like this article on how to create a blog with Weebly.

I don't have a wiki to reference, but I have a teacher in my building using blogs in such an exciting way that I can't help but share. He utilizes blogs to have students post the several stages of their writing, receive feeback on the blog and revise and repost. It's very exciting and the students, families and teachers are loving it. Pretty manageable as well.

Hi Dean,

I am doing my thesis on Improving Parent/Teacher Communication Using Technology and would to see what type of information you have put together regarding wikis. I'll be happy to list you as a reference. My site is in the very beginning stages (I still have a month before it needs to be finished but you can check it out at http://web.me.com/katenar/Parent_Teacher_Communication/Introduction...)

Thanks for any information you can provide!
