 * Ideas for Using a Wiki
 * Strand 25 in Math**- A math problem where students can share their solution.
 * Essential Question in Science**- Students would be able to choose an animal and research and create a page that addresses the essential question.
 * A Wiki for Teachers**- Using music and movement to improve literacy. Would include research, links, ideas, discussions.
 * Literature Circles-** Each group have their own page to share their book review.
 * Peer Conferencing/Editing for Writing**- alternative for conferencing, written record of editor's comments, revisions
 * Current Events Discussions** about the current event article, video, audio, on the wiki as an assignment
 * Webquests** Students create a project collaboratively
 * Teacher communication and collaboration**
 * Science Fair Projects** - A wiki could be set up for middle or high school students to brainstorm ideas for and plan science fair projects. Initially it would mostly be brainstorming, posting ideas and information to back them up. As they begin to flesh out the ideas that they are interested in, small groups might form to work on individual projects, but could still contribute ideas to other projects. The teacher can act as a facilitator by offering suggestions and asking probing questions to get students to consider particular aspects in the planning of their projects. The wiki could also be used to record and organize data, and plan eventual papers/presentations.
 * Virtual field trips **: Have your students research far away places they would like to go on a field trip, and get them to share images and information about the location.
 * Create presentations **: Instead of using traditional presentation software, put presentations on a wiki.
 * Write a Wikibook **: Make it a class project to collaboratively write a reference book that others can use.
 * Study guides **: Ask students to create study guides for a specific part of the unit you’re studying.
 * Readers’ guides **: Have your students create readers’ guides to share their favorite and most important parts of works you’ve read in class.
 * Solving wik i**: Post difficult math problems, such as calculus, so that the class can collaboratively solve them.
 * Glossary **: Get your class to create a glossary of terms they use and learn about in new units, adding definitions and images.
 * Class encyclopedia **: Ask your class to create an "encyclopedia" on a topic, adding useful information that can be built upon through the years.
 * Create exploratory projects **: If you’re teaching a new subject, ask your students to collect and share information in the wiki so that you can learn together.
 * Classroom FAQ**: Make it a class project to create an FAQ for your classroom that will help new students and those that will come in years later.
 * Classroom scrapbook**: Share news, photos, and current achievements in your classroom on a wiki page.
 * Classroom newspaper**: Create your own news outlet on a wiki.
 * Hall of fame**: Highlight students’ exceptional achievements on the wiki.
 * Collect data**: Use central documents to make sure that data collection is uniform and easy to manage.
 * Mock-debate**: Pit two class candidates against each other and perform a debate on your wiki.
 * Study buddy matching**: Let students match themselves up into study buddy pairs.
 * Multi-author story**: Start a creative writing unit, and get your students to write a short story together, each writing a small amount of the story.
 * Choose your own adventure story****:** A twist on the multi-author story could be a choose your own adventure story, where each student branches out into a different path.
