Wikis

What is a wiki?!   Good question!  It's an on-line collaborative tool useful for project work.  It's similar to a website and is best used by one particular class for the whole academic year.
here is a video tutorial

  Students can edit each others posts and work collaboratively. Check out the new wiki I invited you to join at
http://janebarden.wikispaces.com/ 

Here are some other much better wikis for you to check out

Wikis are learning platforms, so it is up to the teacher and the students to add content.

Sign up for a free educator’s wiki at www.wikispaces.com .
If you choose the K 12 educator option you will get a High School wiki for free which will enable you to add up to 100 students as writers even if you don't have their email addresses.

Good luck!
