It seems like I am always creating something online: a blog post, a Google+ community, a Wiki, a Livebinder, an account on any number of websites. This morning as I added a pin to the PATUE pinboard I saw this pin and realized that I have at least one orphaned Wiki out there. In general I do a pretty good job of keeping track of the work I create, in general.

Wikis are the workhorses of the web. If you have looked anything up on Wikipedia , you have used a wiki. Wikipedia is one of a group of education-related wikis. The spirit of a wiki is to provide information openly and freely, which aligns well with using wikis in the classroom. The word “wiki” comes from Hawaiian, where it means “fast.”. You can edit wikis quickly, in a WYSIWIG environment. Many learning management systems have wikis embedded.

Several years ago I launched a wiki for a desperate purpose. A wiki was the logical choice. And so it came to be , what is now the Restaurants in Airports Wiki. Over the years the wiki grew further. Content remained on the wiki, but some gradually outdated. And yet the wiki continued to exist. I copied the wiki to a new location ( [link] ).I Keep the wiki at its new location. The food in airports situation no longer calls for a wiki.

In my two previous features, I've looked at how to create a wiki and how to use them with EFL students. In this posting I'd like to look at a couple of technical aspects, how to embed video in the wiki and how to add hyperlinks, and how we can use them for teacher development. The first shows how we can embed videos into a WetPaint wiki. We can also use the power of wikis for teacher development. How can we use wikis for teacher development?

In my previous post I looked at how to create a wiki using WetPaint and a few of the reasons for using one. This tutorial shows you how simple it is to edit the wiki. You could use a wiki as a sort of learning record which all the students could contribute to.

On Tuesday, October 6th, I will be leading a professional development workshop at my school on Wikis. One of the first things I will be doing with the teachers is having them view a 5-slide presentation on Good, Bad, and Ugly uses of wikis. I would appreciate feedback from those of you who are using wikis: 1. How have you seen wikis used effectively? What are common but ineffective uses of wikis? What are some downright bad uses of wikis?

In the past, I’ve often used wikis to manage and track projects. The easiest way to explain the power of tracking is to compare the Project Pals workspace to a wiki. On a wiki, each page has a history and a teacher can see which student added or made changes to a wiki page.

Wiki''s in Plain English - a Great Vid! -- What''s a Wiki? A wiki is a web site that lets any visitor become a participant: you can create or edit the actual site contents without any special technical knowledge or tools. A wiki is continuously “under revision.” One famous example is Wiki-pedia, an online encyclopedia with no “authors” but millions of contributors and editors. The word "wiki" comes from Hawaiian language, meaning "quick" or "fast."

What fascinated me about this discussion was the fact that they came up with this idea to create a wiki where educators from all over the world could share examples of student innovation. Currently the categories on this wiki include blogs, student leadership, technology integration, portfolios, learning through teaching, social networking, and authentic learning. I encourage all teachers and administrators to add to this wiki that George Couros created.

One of the most popular activities on our wiki based learning programmes was called ‘goldmining’. These were posted up onto the group wiki, and a short summary attached by the ‘gold miner’ to explain what it contained and why it would be useful. Wikis and blogs to a certain extent can achieve this objective, but there can be constraints and disadvantages to this approach, not least a resistance from students themselves who may not wish for these tools to be imposed upon them.

Using wikis for collaborative writing is a little like solving the Towers of Hanoi puzzle. When two or more people work on the same wiki page, there is often a lot of deletion, modification and overwriting - a kind of destructive creativity - that goes on as the content is refined and polished.

Earlier, in a 2008 article '' The Good, the Bad and the Wiki '', my colleagues and I had reported that students became very protective over ''their content'' in collaborative spaces such as wikis and took pride in presenting their ideas to a wider public audience. We learn best when we are fully involved in the process.
