Student-Created Wikis and Blogs

Posted by Kenneth Ronkowitz on


Darren Kuropatwa's blog, "A Difference", tells how his math students collaboratively built solution manuals using a wiki to go along with the the "textbook" they were simultaneously writing on their blog. Pretty ambitious. There are wikis for AP Calculus, Pre-Calc and Applied Math. The wikis are password-protected, so you can't edit their content but you are free to read it.

He uses free online software for both - pbwiki and Blogger.

Darren's own entry about the project goes into detail about what he did last year with this, including some things that did not work.

Another example of this type of application is this wiki by students studying societies with Canadian teacher Clarence Fisher.
