X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.622) Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed Status: O Content-Length: 2694 Lines: 92 Marie and others, Marian Thacher and I are exploring possibilities for collaborative writing using wikis. Marian has found a free wiki environment which may be good for adult ESL/ESOL students, and I am creating one for adult literacy/basic education students. These are places on the Web where teachers and adult learners can try out collaborative writing projects within their classes, or between or among) classes in different parts of the country/world.. We have some guidelines which Marian posted to this list. Soon we may be ready to try these out. Let me know if you are a teacher interested in using wikis for collaborative writing with your stduents and I'll send you more information. David J.
