Wikis in the Classroom 2006

I've gotten a request from some advice on my use of wikis in the classroom so this seemed like a good thing to update here.

1. I've got an entry about wikis on my old blog. Most of that information is still good. I would add that a good place to set up a wiki for free is wikispaces.com. As educators, we can also get an ad-free wiki by signing up for a blog at edublogs.org. Just be warned that this wiki has a little bit non-standard editing options. Also, while wikispaces.com has been quite responsive, the edublogs.org server can be extremely slow!

2. I've got a couple of completed courses that used the wiki for display and conversation.
From summer 2006, EDUC 639: K-12 Technology Integration
From summer 2005, UAPP 667: IT Topics for Non-profit and Government Managers (a distance course)

3. I've collected some advise on best uses of Wikis. One is a blog entry from the Cool Cat Teacher Blog called Wiki Wiki Teaching- The art of using wiki pages to teach The other is a brand new article in Technology & Learning http://www.techlearning.com called Wild about Wikis.
