Wikis are a Wonderful Way to collaborate with Web2.0 tools
What are some of the ways that Wikis can be used in the classroom?

A continuing story in which your class adds sentence using new vocabulary words
An online writer’s workshop or poetry workshop with suggested revisions from classmates
Collaborative book reviews or author studies
Study guides made by student groups for themselves and peer
A movie review wiki for teens hoping to find the best date flick?
A virtual art gallery with ongoing criticism and responses regarding artwork
Collections of recipes for a home ec class.
Great for embedding glogs and fostering a forum for class discussion.

Products of research projects, especially collaborative group projects: civil war battles, artistic movements, the American electoral process, diseases and prevention, etc. Remember that the products do not have to be simply writing. They can include computer files, images, videos, etc. Creating an organizational structure for the content is an important part if the project.
What I Think Will Be on the Test wiki: a place to log review information for important concepts throughout the year, prior to taking the “high stakes” test, AP test, or final exam. Students add to it throughout the year and even from year to year.
A careers wiki. Have students interview people about their jobs and write up descriptions of different career paths. Invite the workers to add their own input and pictures, as well. Keep this wiki as part of an alumni project for your high school students investigating school-to-work options.
Luv Wikis! Use as a class portfolio of projects we've done, share projects with older class in our school and with 11 classes from Canada,US,Scotland,Australia
Love this idea. Can not wait until the camp starts. You are very inspirational. I am a Ms. B too. Happy sharing and learning.
They are great for organizing all your lessons and associated handouts and media! Everything can be collected in one place.
Great for exam review. Have students create questions and answer them. Teacher edits and verifies.
I used one to gather facts on states with another fourth grade class in another state.
