A couple of wiki's that I found intersting and could be used in the classroom are:

http://movingforward.wikispaces.com/Wikis this site has many, many excellent classroom ideas for all ages

[]

this site is super for travelling, maps, and shopping on line

[] This is really cool if you aren't familiar with wetpaint, which I was not. Wetpaint mixes everything to create, collect, and organize content on a social website - anyone can contribute or voice their opinion -this site also has great classroom ideas

[] this site is pretty cool because it has a reflective teacher section, lesson plan samples, and a teacher's lounge wiki

If I were to use a wiki, I would probably use it as a form of communication with parents, or students. It would be neat to post a math word problem of the week and do something fun with that for students. Something you could use a wiki for with parents is introducing and explaining the leveled reader assignment in my class. This would be a great opportunity for students to comment to one another about the story. For example, the characters, settings, plot, theme, etc.
