Examples of Wikis in Education
Students work with other students in their class, their school, or globally. Instead of the traditional paperboard presentations, students use wikis to research a topic; find and embed historical videos, audio clips from primary sources, and other Internet resources into their final project; and collaborative with their peers to produce a final project.

Students can use wikis to review their classmates' work and give them their feedback. Teachers are also setting up wikis where students work with a classroom in a different state or country, learning about a different culture along the way.
