I can use it to ask my students to come up with ground rules for the class room in the begining of the year. We can make a table of dos and don'ts. I can also ask them to post all the needed material we need in the class room for any project. We can make a list of two columns. what we need and what we have.
Wikis can be used to to share and intergrate thinking on any given topic of study. They can be used in the beginning of a new topic to brainstorm, can compliment KWL charts, and enhance learning throughout a whole unit of study as students create information together. Wikis can encourage collaborative work as students explore topics and trust between peers.
As my students are nonverbal and visual learners I believe a wiki would provide a motivation for them to engage in activities that will promote math and reading skills. Most can and sometimes will only work indepentently at simple computer games that teach number and letter identification. Perhaps similar learning games could be set up and incorporated into an animated landscape and perhaps even promote partners in learning. One of the goals teaching autistic children is socialization and perhaps involving them in creating a "wiki" environment would foster some form of socialization.
I run a peer tutor program in my school. Coordination, matching tutors who are avalable at times when tutees need them can be cumbersome. I work with an upper school student coordinator who has grade level agents who, in turn, are responsible for recruiting tutors at each grade level. Getting the necessary information to the right people, finding a match, arranging a meeting time and closing the feedback loop can take over a week through e-mail. Furthermore, it's difficult to keep track of what arrangements have been made. A Wiki could have several columns: 1st, I would list students who need tutors in which subject areas and at what times; 2nd, the name of a student whose schedule and interests make him/her a possible tutor would be posted by the student coordinator; 3rd would be completed by the grade level rep, a simple check mark means the tutor has been contacted, and s/he will contact the tutee; 4th confirms that arrangements have been made; his would have the day and time that tutoring would take place.
I have another idea. In my school we have grade level weekly team meetings with (usually) too much on the agenda: struggling students, upcoming special events/schedule changes, curriculum and/or assessment issues, you name it. A wiki can be a discussion board used to gather information about how a particular student is functioning in advance of the meeting, with each teacher adding/editing his/her piece based, in part, on what others are saying about a student. Too often I have to wait nearly a whole week to query teachers about how Johnny is doing in his classes. After gathering the information ahaead of time, which everyone can see, we can meet to analyze and discuss action plans rather than to merely report.
I would use wikis in my class to post finished projects or to have students critique other student work. Also I would want to have a few problems up and have student solve them and discuss their methods of solving the problems. I think it is a great tool that I would like to use in the following school year.
Wikis can be used in various ways. One that I would use would be an open book club. Students can list and reflect books that they have read in and out of school. As well as selecting from a required reading list. Each child can share their opinions about the books while interacting with their peers. It opens up the door to reading as well as socialization.
I can use wikis with my students by having them all contribute to our weekly newsletter. Each child can add or edit something to develop the newsletter. Another way I would use it is to edit book reviews. Each student will edit comments on the books they read. A third way I can use it is to have students work out word problems. They can show multiple ways of getting the answers.

I work in a preschool and early intervention program. I would use wikis with the preschool population, maybre 4 and 5 year olds. This would be a great way to get children to interact, socialize, and learn at the same time. I would use pictures simple words to help children create their own story.
I work with children in a preschool and early intervention program. I would use wikis with 4 and 5 year olds. I would use picutes to help them create thier own story. This would be a great way to facilitate interaction among the children, sodcializations, and they learn.
wikis can be used for science projects for students to brainstorm their ideas and to work in groups. Students can share their portfolios on the wikis. Students can also use wikis to share their ideas and thoughts after each literature reading instead of using papers.
Teacher can use wikis to collaborate and to share lesson plans.
Awesome! Now I know what is a wiki. There are so many ways to incorporate wikis into a curriculum. I can incorporate using a wiki in my health class. It is possible for me to post homework assignments and websites for my students to view. I often assign group projects and creating a wiki can help them prepare for their assignments.
I think that wiki's can be useful in classes. It is a very easy way to have students turn in work and peer edit work. The only drawback is that it would have to be monitored heavily to make sure that the comments were not offensive. It could also be used to publish students work. Having everything in a central location is very easy and neat. It also less paper as well.
as a teacher of legal studies i think i would be able to use a wiki in order to allow my students to draft legal approached while organizing their evidence and witnesses in a more democratic and organized manner .
Now I know more about wikis and I think one can use it with the students after setting up some rules that will be respected by users. At the high school level, when students are mostly computer literate, you can use wikis to do homework, to complete project in collaboration, or to review for a test: asking questions, sharing ideas, get in touch with the teacher.
My students hate haveing to do anything on paper. I would most definately use a wiki to do career education in my class. I would want them to go totally virtual and see what possibilities are out there. I would also use a wiki with students who are struggling readers.
