I found some really great Wikis that I can use as models. Again, I love lists.

This site was from a teacher of American Literature. I like how he words his “Academic Dishonesty and would really like to add something like this to my syllabus. Side note—it would be so nice to not waste so much paper at the beginning of the year by handing out syllabi. We could create classroom wikis and have parents and students sign in, read and discuss, and maybe post questions and comments. Ta-da! A door opens for communication.

I love how the assignments are formatted and students can find everything they will need with a click of the mouse. Now that’s easy researching!

A wiki for Fans of this great Discovery Channel show. I teach The Perfect Storm and looking through this wiki with my students would provide a lot of good background information.

Not a wiki anymore since she changed it to a part of the school webpage. So cool; I want my own page!

This is a pbworks wiki so I enjoyed reading through and analyzing the difference in formatting from Wetpaint. A pbworks page may be easier to set up because students do not need to put in their personal email addresses. I loved this page in the wiki because the project and background research was so well outlined for students. And this is one of my favorite books. http://huffenglish.pbworks.com/Project+The+Bluest+Eye
I’m sure I could go on, but I am off to give my eyes a break for a little while.

Rachel, I love lists as well and appreciate yours. Thanks for sharing! The wiki you shared that has become a school webpage has really inspired me to want to return to school with a wiki or webpage of my own.
