Examine the wikis above. What's the focus of each wiki? How are they alike and different from each other? Register and expand the wiki. For help, read the first two pages of the [|Wikis in Teaching and Learning] (PDF) handout by Annette Lamb.


 * Collaborative Problem Solving**. Wikis provide an environment for groups to share their understandings and come to concensus. The wiki can be used to generate lists, narrow topics, outline options, debate issues, make suggestions, and even vote.
 * What Does It Mean To Be Australian? - middle school students (check [|Graham Wegner's] teacher blog too; read his reflecting on[| wikis with children])
 * Collaborative Research**. Whether working simultaneously on a project or over a multiple semesters, researchers can collate and share their data using a wiki.
 * [|Studying Societies at JHK]- year-long project
 * Collaborative Writing**. Wikis are often used for collaborative authorship. In other words, a group of people get together with a specific final product in mind such as writing an article or letter; editing a book, guide, manual, glossary; or creating a knowledge base.
 * [|Rhetoric and Composition] - open-source textbook
 * [|Second Life Wiki] - user guide
 * [|Wikipedia] - a free encylopedia anyone can edit
 * [|WikiTravel]- a free, up-to-date, reliable world-wide travel guide
 * Dynamic Journal or Notebook**. Wiki software can be used to organize notes, ideas, and brainstorms. It's a great tool for a book club, study group, or club to organize information. Although generally thought of as a collaborative tool, single-user wikis are a way to collect, organize, and reflect on one person's ideas. The activity is focused on recording ideas and process rather than coming up with a final product.
 * Electronic Portfolio**. Some wikis are used to for collecting and organizing resources for an electronic portfolio. A wiki is an effective tool for this activity because it allows a learner to constantly select and update materials.
 * Portal**. A [|portal] is designed to be "the" starting point for a particular topic or subject. In wikipedia, the refer to "main pages" on topics or area. Originally, portals led people to other resources, but they are increasingly being designed as wikis and contain original information. They are an opportunity for scholars and others to work collaboratively to help people see the "big picture" of a topic and how it connects to related to related fields such as arts, biography, geography, history, mathematics, science, society, and technology.
 * [|Portal: Food]
 * [|Portal: Rhetoric]
 * [|Portal: Scouting]
 * [|Portal: Trains]
 * For more, see the [|Portal/Directory]
 * Resource Aggregator**. Like a bibliography, mediagraphy, or pathfinder, a wiki can be used to organize links to websites, blogs, and other electronic materials.
 * Study Guide**. A wiki is a great tools for creating a collaborative study guide.
 * Frankenstein - notice the links on the lower left to links, letters, and chapters
 * Virtual Conference**. Rather than meeting face-to-face, wikis can be used to share resources as part of a virtual conference activity. Because most wikis allow uploading of files, these conference wikis can hold documents, visuals, audio, and video materials. Explore a [|Wiki Conference] lesson plan.
