We are not using wikis but we will begin using blogs with our adult high
school students in one of their English classes this fall.  We hope that
blogging will help improve student engagement, provide additional
writing opportunities to students, help improve critical thinking
skills, etc.  

I'd be very interested in hearing from you if you begin using wikis
with your students.

Hello All,

Is anyone using wikis with their students, or know of examples of
wikis
being used with student groups in instruction?
If so, how do you use it as part of instruction and what has been thhe
student response? Can you forward the URL?

Best,
Mariann
