Wikis in Education

On Monday I am giving a workshop session on wikis, and have really made the assumption that the participants will be newbies.

Here is a list of the sites I am using

• Wikipedia
• Wikipedia selection for schools
• Wikinews
• Wikimedia
• Collaborative knowledge building image
• Today's Meet
• Another Today's Meet page - murder_paradise
• The Story - writing a short story collaboratively using submissions from Today's Meet
• Wiki Wiki image
• Wikis in Plain English - YouTube video
• John Pearce's Digistories Wiki
• Smik09 on WikiSpaces

The presentation is available on my public space on BoxNet as well as in the plugin in the left margin of this page (scroll down)
