Tips

Give Students Clear Instructions

To make sure your students understand how to engage with this new online resources make sure you post clear directions om the front page.

• Add student assignments and instructions on the front page.
• Treat your wiki front page as a short introduction with links to other pages.
• Type a few bullet points and create links to the pages (to link, edit a page, select the text, and click "Insert Link").
• If you have handouts, create a page called "Handouts" and upload the files there.

Next, use a creative activity to engage your students on your wiki. Here are three examples:

Individual pages- Ask each student to create a wiki page, posting information about their interests and what they hope to learn from the class. Be sure to comment on the pages, and engage them by referencing their personal interests in discussions. Use this as an easy icebreaker to have students get to know each other.

Online spelling list – Create a page titled ‘Spelling’ and post your spelling list. Ask students to post the definition or upload a corresponding image.

Class notes - Each week assign one student to write up the class notes, including important points and class discussion. Be sure to comment on the notes, and add additional insight from the lesson.

For more ideas see how other educators have used wikis in their classroom.
