Wiki Planning

• Unique content– an interesting historical building, location, or event – a lesser-known, regional, or noteworthy person – oral histories or memories of a particular shared

experience/event (don't do 911 or WWII) – an invented world or fictional work – thematic resource for literature circle or book club with an

unusual or unique focus

Annette Lamb. “Wiki World.” http://eduscapes.com/sessions/wiki/wiki6.htm

Wiki Planning

• Good organization– How can you tell your story or share your information in an

appealing, organized way? – How can you develop a consistent structure through agreed

upon guidelines? – How do maximize the number of people contributing to the

wiki but still maintain a sense of shared voice?

• Versatility

Wiki Planning

• Synergy

• Enthusiasm– What questions do we have about this topic? – What do we still need to learn? – Where can we go to collect more information? – What can we create ourselves? – What are different ways we can tell our story or share our

information through text, visuals, audio, or other modes of communication?

– How can we refine or expand what we have? Annette Lamb. “Wiki World.” http://eduscapes.com/sessions/wiki/wiki6.htm

Wiki Advice

• Wiki software orientation

• Practice simulation of wiki

• Apprised of collaborative writing– editing, correcting, deleting

• Wiki: “Work in progress”

• Discuss feelings about participation

Steve Wheeler, Peter Yeomans, and Dawn Wheeler. “The Good, the Bad, and the Wiki . . .” British Journal of Educational Technology. Vol 39, No 6. 2008.

• “Collaboration, rather than competition should be emphasized as a key aim of any wiki-based activity. Students should be encouraged to contribute to the wiki outside of classroom hours, and to share their thoughts, useful resources and discoveries as they make them. When in class, wiki content creation should be an activity integrated into the fabric of lessons. Teachers should act as moderators rather than instructors . . . “
