But what about wikis in education?


Check out a couple:


  • Thousands Project - Each month, Mr. Monson's fifth grade class posts a new question, hoping to receive 1000 responses from students and visitors from around the world.
  • Math 12V Outcomes Portfolio- Twelfth grade math students create an online review for the entire math curriculum.
  • FHS Wolves Den - Site to support eleventh grade English and U.S. History classes. Hub for class lectures, essays, novels, projects, links, learning applications, discussions, and more.
  • Primary Math - Primary students share their math learning with students around the world.

Let's try this out!
