Wikis



Wikis allow for collaborative learning in the classroom and beyond. The Wikispaces platform allows educators to create prompts, pages and discussion for students to edit or answer. The platform makes it easy to edit and collaborate while maintaining a history of all edits and changes.

My colleague, Jeanne Muzi, developed a wiki with her first grade class as part of the Smithsonian Institute and Pearson's Mobile Learning Project. Here is a link to her classroom wiki: http://room122mobilelearning.wikispaces.com/
