Wiki Sites for Social Studies
Wikis are unlike traditional web-pages in that they are meant to be created collaboratively (think Wikipedia!) Short for wiki-wiki (the Hawaiian word for "fast"), wikis are easily created and edited. You won't need to know any complicated codes or web language.
In education, wikis have been used in several ways:
To co-create a learning page for a course:
Studying Societies at JHK
Dorman Data Digest
Wiki Learning Project
Welker's Wikinomics
As a classroom information page:
HWP Social Studies
CMS Wiki
For classroom projects:
Social Studies B page
SFX Wiki
On the Trail of the First People
Holocaust Wiki Project
Political Parties and Elections
Collaborating with other classrooms:
Collaborative Videoconferencing
Social Studies Wiki Project
For additional information on wikis in education, visit my other wiki space for background and some interesting video as well as links to wikis in other content areas.
