Wikis are Web 2.0 tool which can connect teachers and students in powerful ways. Come to hear examples and learn the methodology behind this collaborative web 2.0 tool. The ability to easily publish to the Internet has opened up all sorts of new possibilities for teachers to help students enhance their writing skills and become more effective communicators. In the age of the Read/Write Web, every reader can truly be a writer as well. Wikis provide wide and diverse audiences from around the world for feedback and response. But they also require a more “connective writing” approach, one that can synthesize many disparate ideas from different sources, all connected together through hypertext. This sessions will highlight best practice uses of Wikis in schools and include resources on how to get started.
