Wikis can be used in classrooms in several ways. One that I found the most interesting is to list projects under different tabs. Each tab shows students works as examples for future classes. The most interesting thing about this is that students from all around the world contribute to this style of wiki. Students can see what their same age peers have worked on from around the world. I find this an incredible way to use technology; my future students could be able to communicate with their peers from around the world.
Sample Wiki
Another amazing way to use a wiki is to communicate with other teachers across the United States. Teachers can use wikis to discuss curriculum examples and share ideas from around the nation. I found this to be an interesting way to use a wiki as well. In this way, the wiki is not for archiving, but more for discussion. In this way, these ideas could be archived for future use for future teachers as well. For the time, however, it is more for discussion than a stockpile of information.
