Wikis in the Classroom Debbie Alcorn 2010 Digital Writing
A wiki is a type of website that is developed collaboratively by a group of users, and can be easily added to or edited by anyone (known as 'open editing').  'Wiki' is a Hawaiian word meaning 'quick' (when repeated it means 'very quick') and was first used in this sense in 1995 by the US computer programmer Ward Cunningham, who called his website the WikiWikiWeb.  The best-known wiki is probably Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute articles to). What is a Wiki? http://www.askoxford.com/worldofwords/
www.http://PBWorks.com
Why use PBWorks?   Simplify security:Shared drives are normally only accessible from within the office or through a VPN connection. PBworks is outside your firewall, and uses its own authentication system, which you always can edit and control.    Reduce email insanity:Emailing a document to 10 people creates 10 different copies of the document and maylead to confusion.  By keeping the most up-to-date copy in one central location, there's less chance of confusion in the group.   Get notified of changes:PBworks can notify you via email when pages on your workspaces change.  You can control the frequency of these notifications.                                                      (From the PBWorks User Manual)
Why use PBWorks? Use different workspaces to organize different aspects of your teaching, and the people that belong to it  Have a club workspace, a PLC workspace, and a classroom workspace  Add different groups of users to the different workspaces, and manage access to them all through my.pbworks.com Add a classroom account for students without an email account
PBWorks is student and teacher friendly
How can a wiki help you? Post a calendar with assignments, due dates, and give the wiki address to parents, too Use a wiki for home schooled students or online assignments Post copies of assignments so students can access them from home and eliminate some excuses! Post Power Point Presentations on the wiki so students can review from home without damaging the presentations Use a wiki for an educational exchange Post classroom photos and videos
You can set up an individual page for students to post their work Their own page gives them ownership and instant publication in a secure environment Students can comment on each other’s pages Students love the layout and are more willing to complete assignments on the wiki The opportunity to master innovative technology  What does a wiki offer a student?

  • 2. A wiki is a type of website that is developed collaboratively by a group of users, and can be easily added to or edited by anyone (known as 'open editing'). 'Wiki' is a Hawaiian word meaning 'quick' (when repeated it means 'very quick') and was first used in this sense in 1995 by the US computer programmer Ward Cunningham, who called his website the WikiWikiWeb. The best-known wiki is probably Wikipedia (an online encyclopedia that anyone can contribute articles to). What is a Wiki? http://www.askoxford.com/worldofwords/

(From the PBWorks User Manual)
  • 5. Why use PBWorks? Use different workspaces to organize different aspects of your teaching, and the people that belong to it Have a club workspace, a PLC workspace, and a classroom workspace Add different groups of users to the different workspaces, and manage access to them all through my.pbworks.com Add a classroom account for students without an email account
  • 6. PBWorks is student and teacher friendly
  • 7. How can a wiki help you? Post a calendar with assignments, due dates, and give the wiki address to parents, too Use a wiki for home schooled students or online assignments Post copies of assignments so students can access them from home and eliminate some excuses! Post Power Point Presentations on the wiki so students can review from home without damaging the presentations Use a wiki for an educational exchange Post classroom photos and videos
  • 8. You can set up an individual page for students to post their work Their own page gives them ownership and instant publication in a secure environment Students can comment on each other’s pages Students love the layout and are more willing to complete assignments on the wiki The opportunity to master innovative technology What does a wiki offer a student?
