Student Projects

 Wikis made simple - YouTube.flv [] -Very creative video of describing //what// a wiki is, in a low-tech way using a collaboration as an example. Teachers and students must first know what a wiki is before you can discuss how to use one.

 Using Wikis to Promote Collaboration and Engage Students in the Classroom [] - This video (really, a powerpoint with voice-over) has great, specific examples of how to use wikis in the classroom, as well as //how// using wikis can be used. He includes how students can create or use wikis as a project, and as teachers can use it as a class website. He also mentions how a wiki can be created to bring community into the classroom (like building one as a "school tour" to send to local business and such).

EDIT - This video has now been deleted; this is too bad, because I thought it was the most informative on the list.

 Cool Educational Wikis http://cyberteaching.wikispaces.com/Cool+Educational+Wikis - A video using XtraNormal that introduces wikis and a page of links for interested teachers.

 How has your use of wikis and blogs changed sinc last year [] - I had to include this video of students talking about the difference between using Wikis just as reading vs. publishing works on it themselves. Really neat insights!

 Wikis in the Classroom [] - author Carol Baldwin speaks about how to use wikis in a language classroom, specifically writing fiction.
