Ideas for Using a Wiki in the Classroom

I scoured the web for some practical uses for the Wiki as a classroom tool. Here are a few of my favorites.

Exam Review
You can use the discussion forum to facilitate a dialogue with students about future assessments.

Student Portfolios
Each student can create a Wiki site and post samples of their work.

Peer Review
Students can post their work and others can comment on it.

Glossary or Vocabulary List
The class can develop a glossary for a specific assignment, or for the year.

Calendar
Have students add items to the class calendar that are interesting to them, but relevant to the course work.

Classroom Scrapbook

Notes Collaboration
Share notes on group projects.

Lesson Summaries
Have students summarize a lesson using the Wiki.

Exploratory Projects
Assign a research project and ask students to use the Wiki to report what they find by writing about it, posting files, links, etc.
