Wiki Wild
Using a Classroom Wiki for Collaborative Prewriting
Created by: Amy F. Miller
Looking for a way to motivate students to engage with their own writing and their peers’ work as well? Are you so busy trying to teach the basics that the important job of integrating technology is getting left behind? Why not let them go a little wiki wild? This lesson asks students to collaborate in the development, sharing, and refinement of semester portfolio ideas for a high school creative writing course using free wiki software available on the Internet. It is easily adaptable for other grade levels, subject areas, and purposes. Wikis provide an integrated experience with technology, collaboration, and purposeful writing necessary in today’s global business and academic worlds. Students can easily develop, share, and "publish" their writing in a venue that is at once cutting-edge and easy enough to understand that the technology doesn't interfere with the focus on other academic standards.
